Everything is set for Ser Naturaleza!
Join us for the opening of the collective installation Ser Naturaleza, part of the XV Madre Tierra Festival.
This exhibition brings together artists from different parts of the world whose work explores our evolving relationship with the natural world through video, installation, abstraction, and material experimentation. Rather than representing nature, the exhibition invites us to reflect on how we are nature.
The evening will also feature a live conceptual performance by artists from Take Me To The River, exploring the idea of the line — how it defines, separates, and, at times, brings us back into connection.
Event Details:
- Date: Thursday, March 19
- Time: 7:00 PM
- Free entry
Featured Artists:
- Jessica Hirst (Rep. Dominicana)
- Tiina Herttua (Finland)
- David Carlson (EE. UU.)
- Joan Belmar (Chile)
Music by: Ashraf Fouad (Egypt)
At idiomARTE: where creativity connects us
Mariscal Lamar 14-25 · Cuenca
Presented as part of the XV Madre Tierra Festival, with the support of the Bienal de Cuenca, the Casa de la Cultura Cuenca, and the Azuay Provincial government.

This stunning modern, sustainable, smart eco-home in the secluded mountains near El Cajas National Park is a slice of heaven and a private sanctuary that is safe and secure. This unusual, contemporary home is divided into a two-bedroom fully-furnished 1,830 sq, ft. main house and a two-bedroom secure, reinforced, underground suite that is 818 sq. ft, with a living, dining, kitchen area, plus a dedicated laundry room. Downstairs there is also a huge pantry, perfect for preppers or chefs, who want to ensure that an unlimited food supply is readily available. A second large storage room is also located in the downstairs area, which is secured by a heavy steel door. The property sits on nearly 4 acres of pristine land and views that will take your breath away.
The main home (170 sq. meters) has every bell and whistle and imported upgrades and features from Spain, Italy, Germany, and Chile. Built to North American standards, in 2012, by a well-known Ecuadorian architect and the home’s current owner, the open-concept living space is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, letting the light and the magical views shine through at every turn. The living areas have sweeping vaulted wood ceilings. German floating floors bring warmth and ambience to the home. Partial zones including in the master bedroom and in the offices have heated flooring. The PVC double-glazed windows keep the home perfectly insulated, and the imported pot-belly wood stove in the living room provides a cozy feel on those chilly mountain evenings. All window coverings are from Hunter Douglas. The home is built out of high-strength metal and has antiseismic construction ensuring a solid foundation.
The 15,500 sq. meter lot is breathtaking, with an unspoiled and serene valley, mountain, and pasture land views. A lovely wrap-around terrace lets the outdoors in and is perfect for watching the amazing sunsets or for an early morning view of the fog lifting over the mountains.

The two bedrooms — one en suite — both have gorgeous windows looking out into nature and plenty of closet space. The primary bedroom also has a walk-in closet. The 2nd bathroom is shared by the guest room and the social area.
