– Casa Wabi 2025

Community Project

The central idea of ​​the project is to generate several gatherings focused on transmission, memory, the wisdom hidden in ordinary gestures, and the search for words that hold ancestral knowledge.

To explore these concepts practically, the idea is to begin with words, through conversations that start with open-ended questions and examples, and then delve into the participants’ experiences using basic tools from theater, dance, literature, and film.
