The Feral Artists

The meeting. The encounter. Jaime Zapata, 1992

We were god’s children and they made us slaves. We were dressed in gold, beautiful stones and rich plumage and they turned us into a poor and plundered continent. We were knowledge and they brought us to their God, and along with their God ignorance and detachment from the mother earth.

That’s how civilization came to be.
