For the last five years, I have documented female Kichwa storytelling that explains mining-related violence in oil block 28 and 12 in the Amazon of Ecuador. Women use storytelling based on dreams and encounter with forest spirits or supay to discuss conflict and violence. Thus, when women denounce increased intracommunity violence as oil and mining extraction expand in the forest, state officials and society generally dismiss these stories as a-historical, naïve, and mythical. With permission of some of these women, painter Guillermo Jiménez has represented these stories in painting. Indigenous and rural women with whom I collaborate have used these paintings to share women’s experiences further and discuss similar problems throughout the region.
