Episode 5 of Made In Latin America ventures into altered states and sacred rituals: Hallucinogenic World.
This episode explores the spiritual, medicinal, and cultural roles of hallucinogenic plants in Latin American Indigenous communities. Far from being recreational, these substances are embedded in ritual and ceremony—used to heal, connect with ancestors, and navigate complex cosmologies.
Part of our ongoing seven-part collaboration with SDCelar at the British Museum, this episode sheds light on how objects in the museum’s collection reflect these practices—and how much is still misunderstood in Western narratives around them.
We hear from anthropologists, curators, and community voices about the ethical tensions of exhibiting ritual paraphernalia, and what it means to truly understand an object’s function beyond its form.
Catch up on earlier episodes like The Ñuu Savi, People of the Rain or Maya Blue: the Enigmatic Pigment to follow the full journey.
