Curator Juana Berrío and artist Delcy Morelos visit the Gold Museum in Bogotá, which houses the world's largest collection of pre-conquest gold artifacts. They talk about the cultural differences of valuing gold objects highlighting intrinsic, economic, ceremonial or environmental aspects; the uses of plants with power; the poporo; human-animal bodies; and how to overcome the muteness of those distant objects made by eradicated ethnicities.
