Initiated on June 20, 2020, precisely at 16:43, at Casa Sarayu in Mindo, Ecuador, this ongoing initiative took its first steps during a unique moment - the solstice - amidst the lockdown imposed by the global pandemic. The initial inauguration occurred without an audience, symbolizing the era's challenges.
Due
to the unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization primarily unfolded through digital means. Instructions, concepts, and ideas were exchanged via email, transcending physical boundaries while reflecting the need to adapt.
This
endeavor unfolded within a sprawling 7-hectare forest, serving as both a sanctuary and a canvas for creative expression. Designed as a tribute to nature, it resonates with reimagining the intrinsic relationship between art, our environment, and the evolving future.
