In Episode 8 of Made in Latin America Season 2, Argentinian writer and educator Dolores Reyes turns our attention to the power embedded in the names of trees. A single specimen in the collection sparks a poetic reflection on belonging: how naming flora is an act of remembrance, colonisation, and reconnection.
Dolores takes us into the intertwined realms of ecology, language, and history—highlighting how indigenous names carry ancestral knowledge, while scientific labels can erase vital meaning. Through her storytelling, each tree becomes a testimony to belonging, inter-species kinship, and the responsibility of naming.
🧭 Our Role
Working once again with the SDCELAR team, we managed a sophisticated production process—bridging Dolores’s remote recording in Argentina with our hosts in London. In post-production, our edit honoured Dolores’s soft-spoken cadence and let the natural rhythms speak, giving listeners space to feel the voice of each tree.
🧠 Why It Matters
“El nombre de los árboles” deepens the Volver a contar mission: to retell and reclaim histories through overlooked objects. Dolores’s episode reminds us that naming is not neutral—it’s an ethical act that can heal or harm. By listening to tree names, we witness landscapes of memory and imagine relationships that go beyond human claims.
