The Andean concept of “sumak kawsay” (translated as el buen vivir in Spanish and the good life/good living in English) entails a form of relationality between humans and the other-than-human realms (land, water, minerals, air, spirits, etc.) based on care and reciprocity. Corresponding with the “eco-territorial turn” in Latin American social movements, el buen vivir/sumak kawsay informs an ecocentric and decolonial disposition that recognizes the need to confront the disproportionate ecological impacts of information and communication technology (ICTs) and global communications on marginalized populations. In this article, the authors explore how ecomedia literacy expands the notion of care to the other-than-human world in media education, and through the work of artists/activists in Ecuador who are using poetry and music in their unique expression of ecomedia literacy and eco-territorial media practices
