Diatomeas, a digital magazine to imagine the socio-environmental futures of Patagonia.
ā
Diatomeas is an open-access bilingual digital magazine developed by the Boana association. Diatomeas explores the knowledge and experiences of the Patagonian territory, intertwining artistic expression and scientific mediation. We venture into the dynamics of territorial construction to seek opportunities for socio-environmental justice. Far from prefabricated solutions and dogmatic approaches, with a line that questions rather than imposes, Diatomeas aims to open our imaginations towards desirable futures.ā

We created the first local agro-ecological system, in which we identified available local resources, climatic constraints and opportunities to recycle organic matter.
