Selva is articulated around the body of the world, the humans, the plants, the animals, the instincts of the atoms, and the matter, conceiving all bodies as an archive of cosmic relations between Sun and Earth. Selva imagines an educational approach that is transversal, horizontal and cosmological, focused on care relations; it considers human inclination to exchange knowledge by experimenting, in order to stimulate curiosity in every field and place where informal education continuously happen.

It is necessary to dream, imagine and create new conceptual instruments with unexpected properties which consider all phenomena and dimensions beyond the human and forge relationships in transition. The research is crystallized, by the time, in different experiments and exercises.

Selva and Selva | 3 were published on the special issue ‘Critical artistic research as practices of care’ of the ‘Research in Art and Education’ journal from Aalto University (FIN).
