Habitar\/nos<\/strong> is a socio-cultural project involving partnerships between various organisations linked to the rural environment, led by the SacraExperience Cultural Association.<\/p>\n The objectives of this project are to promote and diversify high-quality cultural activities in rural areas, encouraging local residents to get involved in order to improve their social and regional well-being. This project places particular emphasis on the participation of people from all walks of life, supporting diversity and democratising culture in rural areas, as well as incorporating strategies for gender equality, intergenerational engagement, and the participation of children and young people. <\/p>\n There are already initiatives in place that are shaping this partnership: SacraExperience, at the Lugar de Pincelo in Chantada (Ribeira Sacra), in collaboration with organisations such as Cinema Palleiriso, Chantada Council, the Provincial Museum Network of Lugo, the Ronsel Foundation, Ocean Savane and the University of Vigo, amongst others.<\/p>\n It is a project involving partnerships and networks between different local authorities, linking villages with up to 200 inhabitants\u2014some of which have as few as six residents\u2014and which also offers an expanded cultural programme that connects rural and urban areas.<\/p>\n The main venue for the proposed activities will be a 100m\u00b2 multi-purpose room in Pincelo (Parish of A Sari\u00f1a) in the municipality of Chantada, Lugo.<\/p>\n The partner venues where the extended activities will take place are mainly: Pazo de Tor in San Xo\u00e1n de Tor in the municipality of Monforte de Lemos, Cinema Palleiriso in Garabelos (Chantada-Lugo), Praia da Cova in the municipality of O Savi\u00f1ao, the Chantada Cultural Centre, the Church of Chouz\u00e1n in the municipality of Carballedo, and Pazo de San Pedro de Bembibre in the municipality of Taboada. All are rural areas with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants or with a low population density. <\/p>\n In the case of the two cross-regional collaborations, these are network-based activities that will be showcased; specifically, Vicente Galaso (Balearic Islands) will present his travelling exhibition Miradas Sacras<\/em> at the Church of Chouz\u00e1n in the municipality of Carballedo, as well as at ASDEME (Chantada). As for Proaza and Llanes in Asturias, with cross-residencies in the creation of the cultural network in rural areas, Rurealidades<\/em> will participate in the talks at the \u2018Youth in the Villages\u2019 event. And also in Senegal, with the screening of the work from the artist residency at Sacraexpandido 2026. <\/p>\n This interdisciplinary project encompasses a range of wide-ranging programmes, from purely environmental projects that bring together art and science, to those that focus on small, scattered communities or villages near the River Mi\u00f1o, as well as initiatives designed to bring these areas into contact with national and international stakeholders and artists. These help to showcase the landscape and the tangible and intangible heritage of the Ribeira Sacra beyond our borders, through various cultural activities taking place mainly in 2026. All these partnerships ultimately serve to highlight the region\u2019s value and explore its people. We analyse their ways of life that link tradition and modernity, as well as the link between childhood\/youth and our elders.<\/p>\n It also highlights the importance of nature, which is so vital in these overly virtual times that often distance us from real life and can even lead to physical and mental health issues in adolescence.<\/p>\n In seeking to blend our projects with the value of the local heritage, the company M\u00e1is que Rom\u00e1nico<\/em> acts as a guide to the churches and monasteries for artists in residence and for the creators taking part in the sacraforma project. The Ribeira Sacra is a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) and a protected Biosphere Reserve, as well as boasting this magical wine-growing landscape, which stands as an example of authentic nature unlike anywhere else. The rich natural and cultural heritage that surrounds us, where the activities take place, shapes a region and its people with a distinct identity. It is an essential part of this project. <\/p>\n Habitar\/nos began as a cultural, social and environmental project set within a semi-abandoned area with little in the way of cultural programming. The focus will be on the small, scattered settlements within this magical landscape. The SacraExperience Cultural Association will lead the project and serve as the base of operations for the activities. It is a cross-cutting project involving partnerships between six municipalities. In the case of SacraExperience, activities will take place in the municipalities of O Savi\u00f1ao, Carballedo, Taboada, Chantada, Friol and Monforte de Lemos in the province of Lugo, two of which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n Through its Habitar\/nos project, SacraExperience seeks a new way of engaging with the local environment, using culture as a connecting thread; it aims to create a cultural network across the region, particularly in small, scattered communities. At the same time, it seeks to establish community spaces for reflection and to promote participatory cultural projects. The initiative is structured around a programme comprising several elements: <\/p>\n Sacra Experience, as the home of the inclusive dance company Experimentadanza, is involved in various projects created in this space in collaboration with the Emalcsa Foundation and the Coru\u00f1a Municipal Band. This year\u2019s project, De corpo e palabra<\/em>, features the 45 musicians of the Municipal Band, 14 performers with and without disabilities, Mercedes Pe\u00f3n, the poets Andrea Nunes and Eva Veiga, and the singer Su Garrido. <\/p>\n Habitar\/nos also contributes to promoting the region and champions its natural, scenic and wine-growing heritage as a space for creativity and engagement with the arts and culture. It focuses on three key areas: <\/p>\n In seeking to blend our projects with the value of the local heritage, the company M\u00e1is que Rom\u00e1nico<\/em> acts as a guide to the churches and monasteries in the area for artists-in-residence and workshops. In addition, sustainable events for small groups will be held with full respect for the environment, taking place in communal vineyards and oak groves. The entire project is based on a circular economy supported by the products and services of local residents and winegrowers (local accommodation, wine, locally sourced produce, etc.). <\/p>\n This is a project offering training in the plastic, visual and design arts for children and teenagers at Lugar de Pincelo, in the municipality of Chantada, and at Bosque Habitado. This project, comprising six training modules over the course of a year (one module per month), will result in the creation of a brand designed by children aged 7 to 14 in collaboration with A Escola Museo, where teenagers aged 15 to 18 work. When<\/strong>: February to July 2026. <\/p>\n Around 10 artist residencies, each lasting at least one week, will take place throughout the year at the Pincelo Multidisciplinary Studio:<\/p>\n Cultural Management Conference: Are we revitalising or speculating?<\/strong> (Venue: Pazo de Tor). Speakers include Oliver Laxe, Esther Teixeiro (creator of Galicia\u2019s first organic wine), Europa Creativa and Encarna Lago (Lugo Museum Network). The event features a talk by Mercedes Pe\u00f3n entitled \u201cWe Are All Tambourine Players<\/em>\u201d and panel discussions on the new rural education. <\/p>\n Youth in Rural Villages Initiative: \u201cDiversity and Immigration\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 Open call for three winning projects from young people aged 18 to 30 with innovative ideas for villages with fewer than 200 inhabitants.<\/p>\n A new music production project comprising talented young people, mentored by the Ronsel Foundation and supported by musicians such as Davide Salvado, Adri\u00e1n Costa, members of Sumrr\u00e1 and Su Garrido. It includes six workshops running from January to June and the recording of original tracks in collaboration with the Paideia Foundation. <\/p>\n The project is being carried out by a multidisciplinary team, 60% of whom are women:<\/p>\n The project\u2019s impact is measured against criteria of strict environmental sustainability (zero use of plastics), the revitalisation of the local hospitality sector, and the volume of digital interactions via streaming and the YouTube channel. The ultimate aim is to establish a continuous and stable training programme that serves as a replicable model for other municipalities in Galicia. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sacraexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/habitarnos.jpg” alt=”Habitarnos” title_text=”Habitarnos” url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQ0NDUiLCJlbmFibGVfaHRtbCI6Im9mZiJ9fQ==@” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _dynamic_attributes=”url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Habitar\/nos Project Habitar\/nos is a socio-cultural project involving partnerships between various organisations linked to the rural environment, led by the SacraExperience Cultural Association.
