For Carolina Caycedo making art is a form of environmental activism aimed at establishing the principles of social justice, with particular attention to the rights of Indigenous communities and ecosystems. Her work analyses the impact of extractive systems, large-scale dam construction, deforestation, territorial conflicts, and the privatization of water resources. Her practice focuses on ecofeminism and collective historical memory, reconstructing female genealogies to highlight the role of women in the care and defence of common natural resources.
