Classroom Apu Kumanday TSL Colombia 2022 / República Portátil + Coonvite + Lucía Garzón

The Comunativa Foundation is located in the San José neighborhood. The foundation carries out social action and resistance work against the urban Macroproject, which in 2010 devastated an area of 17 neighborhoods, just over 100 hectares near the center of Manizales, Colombia. This state intervention arises from the desire to "dignify" the urban housing space, with the social cost of displacing the poorest population from the city's centre. This TSL workshop lands on the landscapes of this "macro-disaster" as it is called in Comunativa, and carries out a program of pedagogical projects, community care and socio-spatial disputes.
