Embedded Files
From keynote speeches to grassroots workshops, I’ve participated in a wide range of events, both as a lecturer and organizer, across Colombia and internationally. These talks are about opening spaces for dialogue, collective learning, and global collaboration.
Because science should not be confined to academic circles, it should move, inspire, and connect people across disciplines, territories, and ways of knowing.
