Guided tour of the exhibition Khoka Project

En Sala con is a space to delve into the curatorial vision of the Museum’s exhibitions, interact directly with artists and curators, and learn up close about the motivations and contexts of the exhibitions. On this occasion, we will visit the exhibition Khoka Project, accompanied by Cristina Vasco, Junior Curator of the Museum, and Daniel Montoya, from the Khoka Project team.

About the exhibition

Khoka Project traces the complex relationship that human beings have woven with the coca plant throughout time. This species has been demonized and nearly condemned to extinction due to the so-called war on drugs and the inherent prejudice that does not allow differentiating the extracted alkaloid, as a psychoactive substance, from the khoka — a medicinal, highly nutritious plant, revered as sacred by indigenous communities and ancient civilizations of South America.
