Usumacinta River Expedition

-

The Clipperton Project, Mexico

(2016)

The Clip­per­ton Proj­ect is an in­ter­na­tion­al arts in­i­ti­a­tive based in Mex­i­co, fo­cus­ing on ex­pe­di­tions to re­mote ter­ri­to­ries that have ex­pe­ri­enced com­pli­cat­ed and con­tro­ver­sial his­to­ries.

The Usu­ma­cin­ta River begins in Guate­mala. It runs along the bor­der bet­ween Gua­te­mala and Mex­i­co, through the states of Cam­pe­che and Ta­bas­co where it meets the Gulf. It takes its name from the how­ler mon­key, whose other­world­ly calls ac­com­pa­nied this ex­traor­di­nary river jour­ney.

This was a three-week ex­pe­di­tion, with a team of eight com­pan­i­ons. We trav­elled by tra­di­tion­al canoe and slept in ham­mocks, spend­ing just over two-weeks on the river, row­ing in the morn­ing, seek­ing out camps in the af­ter­noon. Along our way, we con­nect­ed to com­mu­ni­ties and car­ried out work­shops — some plan­ned, some emerg­ing from meet­ings along the way.

The Usu­ma­cin­ta River was a pro­found and chal­leng­ing place to be. The ex­pe­ri­ence brought a new sense of re­sil­ience, cour­age and con­nect­ed­ness.
