The Cabogana mountain is part of the Andean range that embraces the city of Cuenca. To get to Cabogana, we walk through roads that gradually rise revealing complex landscapes full of contrast that form the valley of the city. The Itinerant School works in two gardens in Cabogana: Racar and El Tejar<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ancient villages full of tradition and memories (natural-cultural) settle on the slopes of Cabogana at the same time that urban development grows and stifles its traditional rurality. The traditional brick and tile kilns are intertwined with grocery stores, food places that mix between traditional food and fast-food, cafe-net and a huge storage for one of the main shopping centers in the city.<\/h4><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clay – with its history, memory <\/mark><\/strong>, colours and textures – is the material we come across everyday at the Cabogana Garden. <\/mark><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The soil of the Cabogana is \u2018clayey\u2019 and full of different clay colours.<\/mark><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Clay as the protagonist invites us to think with different temporalities.<\/mark><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Through a multiplicity of encounters, learnings, inquiries and questions, we create collective stories that bring us closer to place and clay.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we establish proximity and relationships with clay, we slow down and notice details that (because we were going so fast) we didn’t see before.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
This encounter with the soil creates intimate and collective inquiries, where our hands and clay are the main protagonists.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
