Caycedo collaborates with South American communities resisting land appropriation and affected by large-scale development, notably through the construction of dams and water privatization. Cosmotarrayas [cosmonets] is a series of hanging sculptures made with fishing nets from activist riverside communities. 'Plomo y brea' [Lead and tar] was hand woven in the Yuma and Bredunco Canyon regions in Colombia. The tar applied by fishermen to make the nets resistant echoes the tar on steel pipes in dams and resonates with the slang expression “dar plomo” [to give lead], which means to shoot someone, thus underlining the ties between extractivism and crimes against humanity and nature.
