TAHWILA is an observatory / laboratory in the rural area of the Ricote Valley that aims to allow new forms of encounter and experimentation between diverse discourses and art.
The TAHWILA Lab is a cooperation between LoCS and AADK Spain.
TAHWILA (field or table in Arabic) has little more than two tahúllas (2600m2). Being part of the old irrigation system of Alguazas, it is in a heritage and historically agrarian area, it borders the Segura river, the road that connects Blanca with Abarán, has terraces, citrus and olive trees, free areas for experimentation and a building without infrastructure of 70m2.
Location
TAHWILA aspires to cover in the future chapters related to the territory as Critical Spatiality: Water, food systems, biomass, materials, technology, migration, gender, tourism, etc. all as cross-cutting themes within a systemic and metabolic analysis.
The objective is to consolidate in TAHWILA a rural station on the AADK campus, which allows new forms of encounter and experimental spaces. TAHWILA seeks to initiate reflection processes of contemporary discourses and to enhance new solidarity and diverse frames of reference around the territory. These will cover intersectional, governance, environmental justice and space ecology issues.
