SITE SANTA FE is pleased to introduce New Cartographies Of Smell Migration | Santa Fe, a multi-sensory sculptural installation by Colombian artist Oswaldo Maciá. This immersive installation celebrates movement and migration through sound, smell, and sight.

Set among hand painted maps annotated with notes on the cultural history and biological role of smell, this olfactory-acoustic sculpture diffuses the fragrance of tree resins sourced from forests in El Salvador and Honduras. These resins have played major cultural, religious, and medicinal roles among Indigenous peoples of the Americas since time immemorial, and have been exported globally since the 16th century. The accompanying audio sculpture features a blend of sounds including wind recorded in various deserts around the world and insects from the Choco region rainforests of Colombia.
