  • Description

    Description

    This is an autonomous space of eco-cultural and transdisciplinary interrelations, focused on the connections that arise between human and non-human organisms, placing ethical and aesthetic experiences around the concept of expanded restoration at the core of its proposal. Expanded restoration is an alternative in which multiple restoration processes converge. In this approach, simultaneous interactions and expressions are generated that connect the restoration of physical spaces, ecosystemic, and self awareness.
