Comidas que curan was born in 2012 as a collaborative independent project by a team anthropologists, educators and filmmakers to document the good practices found in the healing and food traditions of Ecuador and Latin America. We seek to re-value and educate about our culture's invaluable culinary and healing knowledge by recovering the memories about eating, feeding and healing remembered and practiced by our parents, grandparents and ancestors.This is a project to learn critically from our history and from our elders in Latin America. We draw inspiration from the bodies filled with health and strength of our grandparents and ancestors, which are a testimony of effective healing, caring and feeding knowledge systems (saberes) that were tested and perfected over centuries. This healing and food knowledge lies, to a large extent, in the unwritten archives of our elders' memories.Through our research, public speaking, writing, teaching and filmmaking we bring stories told by the bearers of ancestral food and medicinal traditions, to students, teachers, health educators, and activists. They then multiply the impact by transforming these stories into impactful teaching content and culturally significant community interventions.
