About

Un ecosistema entre arte, ecología y biomateriales
Fermenting Humans es un proyecto transnacional que investiga ecologías sensibles y transforma ese conocimiento en obras, experiencias sensoriales y objetos vivos creados con biomateriales.
Funcionamos bajo una economía regenerativa: los recursos circulan para sostener comunidad, investigación y territorio. No extraemos, no acumulamos — fermentamos y redistribuimos.
Nuestro trabajo se teje entre el campo, el laboratorio, la galería y la comunidad. Cada pieza que creamos lleva en sí misma el ADN del territorio que la originó.

Economía Fermenting Humans
Al adquirir una pieza de FH, estás sosteniendo un ecosistema.
El dinero circula para investigación, arte y territorio. Cada compra alimenta expediciones, laboratorio de biomateriales, honorarios justos y colaboraciones comunitarias.
CHild Collective
The CHild Collective represents a network of artists, researchers, and activists who share a commitment to environmental sovereignty and collective authorship. Rather than individual genius, we believe in the power of collaborative knowledge creation and the wisdom that emerges from diverse perspectives working together.
Our practice is inherently interdisciplinary, weaving together art, science, ecology, and activism into forms that resist easy categorization—much like fermentation itself resists the boundaries between life and death, order and chaos.
Meet the Collective →The Art of Slowness
In a world obsessed with speed and efficiency, fermentation teaches us the value of slowness. The best transformations cannot be rushed—they require time, patience, and trust in invisible processes.
This philosophy extends beyond the kitchen into our artistic and research practice. We resist the pressure for immediate results, instead cultivating conditions for deep, lasting change. Our projects unfold over months and years, allowing ideas to mature and relationships to develop.
Slowness is not passivity—it is active patience, careful attention, and radical trust in processes we cannot fully control.
Environmental Sovereignty
Environmental sovereignty recognizes that ecosystems, like Indigenous communities, have the right to self-determination. We reject the colonial mindset that treats land, water, and other beings as resources to be extracted and controlled.
Instead, we learn from Indigenous knowledge systems that understand humans as participants in larger webs of relationship and reciprocity. Our work seeks to honor these relationships and support movements for environmental justice and Indigenous sovereignty.
This is not about speaking for others, but about using our privileges as artists and researchers to amplify voices that have been marginalized and to create platforms for different ways of knowing and being.
