The term “bioculture” refers to the deep relationship between biodiversity and human cultures. It recognizes that nature and the communities that inhabit a territory are interconnected, and that knowledge, traditions, ways of life, and cultural expressions develop in dialogue with the natural environment.
Biocultural Murals seek to reflect this relationship by artistically representing local flora and fauna, while incorporating information that helps people learn about and better understand the ecosystem to which they belong.
What is meant by Territory?
Territory is the space where natural and human life unfold, including landscapes, ecosystems, and communities. It is not only a geographic place, but a space where biodiversity, cultures, and ways of life interact.
From this perspective, territory is the relationship between nature and community, where human beings are part of the environment they share with other living beings. Recognizing it means valuing its natural and cultural richness and taking responsibility for its care.
What is meant by “Wild”?
The term wild refers to living beings—animals, plants, and other organisms—that inhabit a territory in a natural way, in relationship with the ecosystem to which they belong.
Unlike domesticated or cultivated species, wild species develop according to natural cycles, forming part of the balance and diversity of their environments.
Recognizing wildlife means understanding that each species plays a role within the ecosystem and contributes to its functioning.
What is meant by Biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of living beings that inhabit a territory, including animals, plants, fungi, microorganisms, and the relationships between them.
It refers not only to the number of species, but also to the diversity of ecosystems and the interactions that allow nature to function.
Each species plays a role within this system, contributing to natural balance. Recognizing biodiversity means understanding that life is sustained through diversity and interdependence among living beings.
What is meant by Sustainability?
Sustainability refers to the capacity to sustain life and processes over time, maintaining a balance between nature, community, and available resources.
In this project, sustainability involves both the care of ecosystems and the continuity of its development. The project is sustained through its own artistic creation and through forms of participation that allow the art to be created and maintained over time.
Through the acquisition of artworks, the necessary resources are generated for the creation of each mural, making its development in a specific territory—and its continuity within the community—possible.
Sustainability is built collectively, where each contribution helps the project continue to grow and take shape.
What is meant by Silent Auction?
A silent auction is a form of participation in which each person submits their proposal privately, without knowing the proposals of other participants. There is no bidding or direct competition, and each proposal remains confidential.
At the end of the process, the artwork is awarded to the selected proposal, and the person is contacted directly.
