## Ecological cultures and futures design from the Global South

elSur.Global is a platform for research, action and creation. We connect futures design, ecology and political imagination to advance shared horizons through strategies, narratives and impact campaigns.

## Projects

### [How to Free a River](https://elsur.global/freeariver) 

Legal tools, local policies, cultural practices and narratives to work with rivers, repair damage and build other relationships with water.

### [Relational Ecologies](https://elsur.global/relationalecologies) 

Expanding our sense of us transforms our responsibilities toward the web of life. Seven learnings connect kinship, memory, spirituality, knowledge and narratives with practices of care and situated action.

### [Narrative Frameworks](https://elsur.global/narrative-frameworks) 

A practical guide for artists, writers, educators and communicators. Stories rooted in relational ecologies that invite care and action.

### [Por el Paraná: The Struggle for the River](https://elsur.global/porelparana/en) 

A journey along the Paraná and the stories that make it a river. A film and an impact campaign to imagine and build other futures with water.

## Lab

### [Club Futuros](https://elsur.global/clubfuturos) 

We train the muscle of hope to contest the future in the present. Art, community and collective speculation to imagine desirable scenarios and put them into action.

### [Ecological Futures Library](https://elsur.global/imagenes-de-futuro) 

An archive of stories, images, videos and sounds of desirable ecological futures created in our workshops. Glimpses of everyday life in the worlds we want to build.

### [Restoring Desire for Our Rivers and Coasts](https://elsur.global/futuros-costeros) 

Two labs with Museo Moderno exploring our relationship with bodies of water. Drawing on regeneration and conservation experiences, we imagine other relationships with rivers and shores and give them form through representation exercises.
