The Pedregal de San Ángel Ecological Reserve, UNAM (REPSA), is located south of Mexico City, within Ciudad Universitaria. Because of its location and biodiversity, it is considered an exceptional natural and biocultural heritage, not only within the Mexican context but also in the world. The reserve protects the Pedregal volcanic landscape, in which the area's endemic ecosystem develops freely and where the unique relationship between flora and fauna and the rocky terrain left by the eruption of the Xitle volcano is visible. This tour, led by Dr. Silke Cram, is an opportunity to learn about the ways of life, peculiarities and challenges of this biodiverse microcosm within one of the largest cities in the world.
After the visit, the artist and choreographer Bárbara Foulkes will invite us to take a tour activating all the senses of our body to observe nature from a kinetic and perceptual perspective, redefining our relationship with the landscape, the territory and its stories. We will walk backwards, we will look with our hands, we will taste the sound and we will travel through the lava lands, breathing the humid rock like our tongues.
