Exploring My Territory
Biblioteca Popular de Playa Blanca
Read moreA workshop designed to explore and discover the richness and diversity of one’s surroundings—a unique place in the world once we begin to uncover it and document its landscapes and its people.

A space that encourages creativity, reflection, and a deeper connection with the environment and its community.
