Carla Rangel presented her Digesting Tensions project, conceived and performed in collaboration with Chiara Sgaramella, Juxhina Spahiu and Sébastien Tripod in 2018 in the framework of the New Curriculum programme. This was an invitation to embody diverse human and non-human agents that inhabit the Picos de Europa mountain range, to represent their perspectives, interests and needs in equitable ways. Inspired by a series of field trips where conversations with different shepherds pointed to the need for conservation regulations to be compatible with their culture, this project ended with an engaged discussion: what about the goat? By enacting a conversation with the participants around notions of rural spaces, this presentation brought different systems of knowledge around the table.
