Curatorial Focus: The festival explores the relationship between humans and fragile natural environments. It is named after the Pangue plant, a flower native to the region of Chile and commonly found in Panquehue, where the AAL Museum is located. In the Mapuche language represents the mountain lion and embodies values such as bravery, wisdom, strength, and energy. The symbolism of this plant is key to the festival, highlighting the strength and energy that humans can exchange with nature. It emphasizes the healing power of nature and how we can rebuild our connection with our planet.​​​
