Colectivo de Palabreo presents “Interwoven Narratives”, a participatory and interdisciplinary online “palabreo” that brings to light the interconnectedness among creative practices linked with today’s global agenda. The featured panelists are Piedad Aguilar, Juan Pablo Aschner, Ana Gutierrez, Zayaan Khan and Arcenio Moya.

The event will be divided into two sessions and will include a conversation (Palabreo) with a guest moderator at the end of each session. During the intermission of each day’s session, we will showcase a hands-on demonstration led by two skilled weavers. They will guide us on a voyage to our origins and the intrinsic bond we share with craftsmanship and creation.
This event shatters the boundaries of a traditional conference setup and the formality of screens by establishing transnational connections through a non-structured process called “palabreo”.

We are a transdisciplinary collective of applied research founded in 2022 by Lina Celis,, Elisa Lutteral, Rubén Goméz, and León Duval. We work with the traces, renderings, representations, and relationships derived from Latinx culture in different global contexts, aiming to comprehend, expose, and communicate their impacts and extents through engagement actions among individuals, collectives, humans, more-than-humans, and communities, facilitated by the act of "palabreo" (oral communication).

In this regard, we understand "palabreo" not in its pejorative connotation stemming from the Western and colonizing world of the Americas, but rather from its American and pre-Hispanic significance, as an oral and performative means of transmitting knowledge and worldview.
