The two-day event seeks to delve into the role of art as a generator of meeting spaces and analyze the role of society in the self-management of the territory.

The first day will reflect on the role of art as a producer of "objects", but also as a generator of meeting places and encounter. and how art strengthens the mechanisms so that communities can self-manage their territory. The next day will explore details about the history and community management of the neighbouring forest in Galicia (approximately 25% of the Galician territory is self-managed by its communities).

The event is a part of the 'Art Living Lab for Sustainability' project that aims to promote transversal cultures of participatory that respond to environmental challenges on three types of natural commons: land, water and clay. The project will activate three participatory processes through the Living Lab experience, where artists should attend to citizen demands resulting from a mediation process.
