The protest of Colombian farmers against the government did not end in blood or violence. When the armed police arrived to this town, they were received with a traditional drink of sugarcane (Aguapanela) to make clear that their statement was political and not violent. Food was a balsam of peace in the middle of a conflict and these prints made of sugarcane ink reproduce those moments.
