Land Connects Us in Our First Publication with UNAM (SIAyD)

2025: Laboratorios de formación – Experiencias educativas en las artes y los diseños

On August 27, 2025, the first edition of the collection “2025: Laboratorios de formación: Experiencias educativas en las artes y los diseños” was released by the Seminario de Arte y Diseño (SIAyD) at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), coordinated by Alma Elisa Delgado Coellar and Daniela Velázquez Ruiz (read here).

This inaugural volume opens a new editorial space for pedagogical research in the fields of art and design, framing formation laboratories as educational, pedagogical, and epistemological environments that encourage innovation, interdisciplinarity, and dialogue between theory and practice.

We are proud to share that Land Connects Us is part of this very first publication. Our contribution reflects our commitment to educational processes that value culture, community, and creativity, while fostering transnational connections in art, education, and solidarity.

Our team of collaborators in this publication:

• Dr. Joshua Schwab-Cartas – Principal Investigator

Why does this publication matter to us?
