About Totem Latamat
Carved by Totonac artist Jun Tiburcio, Totem Latamat will travel 9,000km from Mexico, stopping at iconic locations across the UK, before arriving at the Indigenous Elders' COP26 camp around the Sacred Fire in Glasgow’s Hidden Gardens.
The totem is a messenger from the Totonac people, calling attention to the damage being done to the seas, the land and the air.
The Hidden Gardens in Glasgow will host the totem between 27 October - 14 November where it will be available for the public to see for free.
While in Glasgow's The Hidden Gardens for COP26 there will be an opportunity to join two events:
• Indigenous Elders Inaugural Ceremony and Lighting of the Sacred Flame for the Climate Emergency – Wednesday November 3rd 2-5pm
• OU Scotland discussion event with Indigenous delegates and Friends of the Earth - Thursday November 11th 2pm
TOTEM LATAMAT is commissioned by ORIGINS Festival, co-presented by Centro de las Artes Indígenas with the support of The Open University and the Embassy of Mexico.
