The fifth edition of Campus America is coming, from October 19 to 30, a space for evaluating and promoting the internationalization actions of the University of La Laguna with the American continent, this year with Chile as the guest country.<\/p>\n
The cultural program includes an exhibition of great scientific, heritage, and symbolic value, inviting visitors to explore the links between Chile and the Canary Islands through nature, memory, and knowledge. \u201cChile: Voices of Patagonia. Secrets of the Seabed,\u201d in collaboration with Filantrop\u00eda Cort\u00e9s Solari and Sorensen, offers a profound and sensitive look at southern marine ecosystems, revealing the richness and fragility of the Patagonian ocean floor. Meanwhile, \u201cChile: Voices of Patagonia: Martin Gusinde,\u201d promoted by Filantrop\u00eda Cort\u00e9s Solari and Atelier EXBen, with the collaboration of the Chile-Spain Foundation, recovers the figure of ethnologist Martin Gusinde and his fundamental legacy in the study of the indigenous peoples of Patagonia. This transatlantic dialogue is further complemented by the exhibition \u201cTwo Hemispheres, One Sky: The Canary Islands and Chile,\u201d created for Campus Am\u00e9rica, featuring images of observatories in both territories. It highlights the shared scientific excellence in astronomy and the connection between two privileged locations for observing the universe. Together, these exhibitions form a journey that intertwines science, culture, heritage, and territory, reinforcing the historical and contemporary ties between both sides of the Atlantic.<\/span><\/p>\n EXPO 1<\/strong>, \u201cChile: Voices of Patagonia. Secrets of the Seabed,\u201d in collaboration with Cort\u00e9s Solari Philanthropy and Sorensen. Campus Am\u00e9rica is hosting a visually and scientifically impactful exhibition that invites visitors to immerse themselves in the secrets of the Southern Ocean through the stunning images of diver and photographer Eduardo Sorensen. The exhibition is part of an ambitious project spearheaded by Cort\u00e9s Solari Philanthropy and the MERI Foundation, which for several years has been developing a photographic-scientific inventory to document the unique biodiversity of the seas of Northern Patagonia in Chile, in a context marked by the growing threats facing the oceans. The images, captured in the waters surrounding the Melimoyu Elemental Reserve, reveal an exceptional ecosystem, remarkable for its beauty and ecological importance, considered one of the great natural laboratories for effective conservation. This exhibition offers an immersive experience that combines art, science, and environmental awareness, reinforcing Campus Am\u00e9rica's commitment to sustainability and the protection of natural heritage.<\/p>\n EXPO 2<\/strong>, \u201cChile: Voices of Patagonia: Mart\u00edn Gusinde.\u201d The exhibition \u201cChile: Voices of Patagonia: Mart\u00edn Gusinde,\u201d presented by Filantrop\u00eda Cort\u00e9s Solari and Atelier EXBen, with the collaboration of the Chile-Spain Foundation, offers a profound and respectful look at the ancestral memory of the indigenous peoples of southern Chile through the work of ethnologist Mart\u00edn Gusinde. The exhibition brings together a valuable archive of unique historical photographs taken by Gusinde between 1918 and 1924 during his expeditions among the Selk'nam, Yaghan, and Kaw\u00e9sqar communities, capturing aspects of their daily lives, rituals, traditions, and worldviews at a time of profound social and cultural transformations.
