Eami significa ‘bosque’ en ayoreo. También significa 'mundo'. El pueblo indígena ayoreo-totobiegosode no hace distinción: los árboles, los animales y las plantas que los han rodeado durante siglos son todo lo que conocen.

    • Synopsis
    • The Asojá flies, the bird-god-woman who transmutes spirit. She was a tiger,she was a plant, she was a jaguar, and today she is a girl who must heal her pain. EAMI is a story of the displaced. It’s the memory of a people that had to leave its original place, that ever smaller fores, to become “coñone”, an Ayoreo word that means insensitive or insensate, and it’s the word they use to define us.
