About The Project



“This page is in honor to the people of Cuyagua; to the place that gave me the greatest memories of my childhood; to the place that made me fall in love with nature, drums and my own Afro Venezuelan cultural heritage. With nostalgia of a place that will never be forgotten. I will come back some day. ”

- Pam

Cuyagua is a beach town where surfers and families would spend most of their weekends before Venezuela entered into the spiral stagflation and crisis that has forced people to migrate today.

After 22 years of a corrupted regime that maintains itself in power through dictatorial means the people from Cuyagua have also suffered the consequences of a broken economy. To the point that it has almost become a ghost town. With no signal,no electricity and no gasoline to bring basic resources from the nearest city (150km away and 1 hour and a half of crossing the forest).

This is the first time in Cuyagua’s history that its people migrated in the hope for survival to a place further than the Caribbean Coast. This project is to maintain alive the people of Cuyagua and to honor the unique cultural elements of this place.
