Festival details

​
Curatorial focus
The festival explores the relationship between humans and vulnerable natural environments.
It is named after the Pangue plant, a flower native to the region of South America where the Museo AAL is located.
In Mapuche, Pangue represents the mountain lion and embodies values such as bravery, wisdom, strength, and energy.
The symbolism of Pangue is central to the festival, highlighting the strength and energy humans can exchange with nature.
It emphasizes the healing power of nature and how we can rebuild our connection with our planet.
Call for Submissions
We invite artists, video makers, and filmmakers to submit works that explore the relationship between humans and fragile natural environments. Submissions that integrate meaningful messages and potential solutions within the narrative are
encouraged.
​
Human–Nature Connection
We seek to understand how individuals relate to their environment and the broader implications of climate change and social change through the body and the land. Artists are encouraged to share personal stories through their videos,
connecting their experiences with the audience. Given the location of the Museo AAL, where we launched the first edition of the festival, we are particularly interested in narratives that address decentralization and envision a better future
for humanity.
