Our current Fachsemester builds on the ongoing project for a new indigenous pluriversity in the rainforest for the Inga people in Colombia. Initiated in 2018 by Hernando Chindoy, leader of the Inga community, and Ursula Biemann, artist based in Zurich, it led to a two-semester studio in HS 2019 and FS 2020 by Anne Lacaton and a seminar week with An Fonteyne.
The planned pluriversity aims at protecting and developing indigenous knowledge and strengthening the Inga in their role as guardians of the Amazon.

The workshop brings together students, researchers and political leaders from both the Inga and ETH Zürich.
