UBAZAGASQUA
The seed, the flower, the fruit sprout.
Ubazagasqua is a collaboration between the Muysca Indigenous community of Suba in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR) at Harvard University. This ongoing project aims to document the use of plant medicine among the Zaitas (medicine people) and community elders, exploring its connection to Indigenous revitalization and territorial sovereignty.
