We communicate
Stories have a transformative power. Through them, we can raise awareness, educate, and build shared narratives that invite us to imagine and create more just, conscious, and connected futures with nature.
We work to highlight experiences, knowledge, and projects that strengthen the relationship between people and the ecosystems we inhabit. Our purpose is to contribute to a cultural shift that promotes the well-being of socioecosystems.
Communication Projects
Through stunning images of the Sanctuary’s birdlife, this Cosmos Foundation production tells the story of community restoration of degraded areas of the Maipo River Wetland.
This audiovisual project captures the history and dreams of various coastal wetlands in the Province of San Antonio, told by those who know their territories best: the elderly.
“Territorio is a cultural and conceptual framework for the lived and evolving relationship among people, other beings and the land. More than a physical space, it reflects how we understand and relate to place through the ways we inhabit and design our environments. It is informed by ecologica processes, cultural practices, and shared memories and aspirations.” (Pg 1)
