Cartographies of the Detour

"Cartographies of the Detour" could have been a Victorian game coined by Proust, but we will instead present it as a series of brief yet meaningful interviews that seek to balance critical acuity with human depth, always from—and for—the South.

Community Innovation

There are other ways to think about the future: more local, more collaborative, and less dependent on systems that prioritize extraction over life. Community innovation shows that technology can also strengthen social ties, knowledge sharing, and help build collective autonomy. Photos: Andres Kishimoto

From Sustainable Design to Regenerative Design

For centuries, we have designed without considering our interdependence with nature, but today it is not enough to simply reduce harm: we must design to restore. The challenge is to transform our practices to regenerate ecosystems, communities, and economies through technology that coexists in harmony with nature. From carbon-capturing architecture to urban planning that transforms cities into living ecosystems, the key lies in revaluing ancestral knowledge and fostering a regenerative mindset. 📸 Ricardo Gómez Ángel, Pim de Boer.
