Conference dates: May 5–9, 2025 in Manizales (World Cultural Heritage Site) & Bogotà (Capital City) in Colombia.
In a context of profound changes and transformations, the regenerative is presented as an alternative to restore, renew or reconstruct lost or invisible memories. From the perspective of sustainability, the regenerative implies thinking about actions that imply survival as a vital matter of engendering for its re-existence.

Individuals, groups and communities co-creating and co-designing
Circular dynamics, economies and autonomous practices
Open knowledge mediated by art & science, and disseminated democratically
Innovation based on the reinterpretation and validity of ancestral memory
Future Memories: Documentation, Preservation and new Tools for Research & Archiving
Pioneers of Media Art
