| dc.description.abstract | The laboratorio de biomateriales de Valdivia (biomaterials laboratory of valdivia) labva was born as a self-managed collective space dedicated to exploring the relationship between materials and the specific abundances of a bioregion. Inspired by experiences of autonomy and territorial sovereignty, labva was established in 2017 in a historic kitchen in the centre of Valdivia, Chile. It uses the region's diverse natural environment, characterised by cold forests, wetlands, and the Valdivian Coast. Throughout its seven years of experience in biomaterials development, labva has gained insights into how the biomaterials community is forming in latin america. some of the questions in this process are: what actions contribute to forming a biomaterial community from individual practices? is it possible to foster biomaterial practices relevant to the Latin American context? these questions accompany our collective learning journey. this paper reports on the milestones that, in the context and experience of labva, have contributed spontaneously and critically to shaping this movement. over time, people, summits, organisations, laboratories, cultural agents, and companies have left a particular mark in the configuration of a Latin American biomaterials assemblage. | |
