“Neocolonial Baudó” serves as a piercing embodiment and allegory for the countless victims of the nation’s turmoil, perpetually uprooted from their homes, traversing unforgiving landscapes and weather, like the dense, untamed heart of the rainforest, in makeshift carts laden with their most cherished belongings, in search of sanctuary anew.
