Filmed within the landscape of Tenjo in Cundinamarca, Vessels for Liminal Dialogues witnesses timeless Indigenous traditions of co-creating habitat that reveal how 'building' is an inherently collective process. Reflecting on how 'Casas de Pensamiento' ('Houses of Thought')—the material, energetic, and spiritual focal points of community life—are envisioned and constructed, the work proposes the act of building as a physical manifestation of interconnectedness.
