    I´m Victoria, I´m currently living in El Tesoro (Maldonado) with my partner Rafael. I´m a product designer and visual artist and I work mainly with clay in my own workshop. Rafael is a marine biologist and a lifeguard. Together we are starting a new construction project and we would love to share this process while you can enjoy this beautiful region in which we are living.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We´re motivated to receive people to share this project because we understand that building in a participatory way benefits all of us, there is a lot of learning and exchange in it. We believe that thinking and shaping a home says a lot about the ways of living we have, what we prioritize and value. We imagine it will be fun to do it together and that there will be plenty of space to chat and get to know each other in the process.

    You could also practice / improve your Spanish, learn more about our culture and we colud learn together different techniques of bioconstruction and garden work.

    Nos motiva recibir personas para compartir este proyecto dado que entendemos que construir de forma participativa beneficia a todas las partes, hay mucho aprendizaje e intercambio en ello. Creemos que pensar y dar forma a un hogar habla mucho de las formas de habitar que tenemos, lo que priorizamos y valoramos. Imaginamos que será divertido hacerlo juntos y que habrá mucho espacio para conversar y conocernos en el proceso.

    Podrías además de practicar/mejorar tu español, saber más de nuestra cultura y conocer junto con nosotros diferentes técnicas de bioconstrucción y trabajo de jardinería.
