we thinkCloud House as a space-time in which it becomes possible to “be in the clouds”: a time to pause, to let go of time, to reflect, to contemplate but also to actively imagine new ways of making the world for a world in crisis.
We are united by the diversity of the fields and knowledge from which we come, and from there we open our house in the clouds to receive researchers and creators from different disciplines and cultures, promoting encounters and intersections that enhance new searches, new looks and new listening.
We envision Casa Nubera as a space-time that enables " being in the cloud ": such a state opens up a time to pause, to let go of the clocking-time; it is a state for reflection and contemplation, but also for actively imagining new approaches for a world in crisis.
We open our "house in the clouds" to welcome researchers and creators from different disciplines and cultures, fostering encounters and crossings that encourage new pursuits and perspectives.
We believe in collective work, we believe in a life that can be sustainable and productive at the same time. We are committed to critical thinking in order to reconsider ourselves as a society and to learn-with and to learn-from the territories we inhabit and visit.
As a place that researches culture and, therefore, life, we intend, from the processes and developments that take place here, to generate fruitful contributions to our context in order to ultimately producing and sharing new artistic and scientific knowledge.

Camila Villarruel
Taller de Cerámica
Nacida en San Pedro, Buenos Aires, a orillas del río Paraná. Fotógrafa y cineasta. En 2020 se instaló en Tafí del Valle y comenzó a investigar la cerámica, la cosmovisión y simbología de las culturas alfareras ancestrales que habitaron el noroeste argentino. A partir de allí sus trabajos se inspiraron en esas expresiones, recolectando de forma manual las arcillas naturales de los cerros del valle, quemando las piezas en horno a leña y utilizando las técnicas tradicionales. A fines de 2023 completó su formación como ceramista artesanal en la escuela de Formaciones Profesionales en Tafí del Valle. Actualmente dicta clases de cerámica en espacios comunitarios en la zona de El Potrerillo y en La Angostura. La impronta de su labor está atravesada por la armonía con el entorno y la conciencia respecto al uso de los recursos y al cuidado de la tierra.
Liliana Pastrana
Taller de Tejido y Tintes Naturales
Artesana, educadora y gastronómica. Como docente de un centro de capacitación de adultos, sintió la necesidad de investigar y recuperar las técnicas ancestrales del teñido de la lana de oveja a partir de pigmentos naturales. Así, con un grupo de mujeres dirigió una investigación estudiando las diferentes plantas de la región, de donde obtuvieron 52 colores diferentes. Actualmente desarrolla en profundidad el trabajo con la mikuna, una planta en peligro de extinción. Desde entonces Liliana es la guardiana de la mikuna y una referente en su revalorización y rescate.
Liliana firmó un convenio con la Universidad de Florencia (Italia) y con la Universidad de Morón (Buenos Aires) para continuar con las investigaciones y promover el cultivo de la mikuna, evitando su extinción.
