PACESETTERS - LAB Genalguacil 

Innovation from where we least expect it … 

Genalguacil Inauguration

 

Rural and remote areas are crucial for green transition- not as a place of extortion, exploitation and consumption - rather as a frame by which we can develop practices and approaches to support navigation of complex transitions & the critical relationship between arts and culture, heritage and creativity in terms of their impact, value and quality -in a reimagined relation to the rural.
