Last Saturday, October 12, 2024, the artist Asunción Molinos Gordo presented the art project "Os sentires do monte". She did it in the high part of the Couso Mountains -between the Mirador de San Antoniño and the Monte do Facho- through a Ritual-Party formalized in a route of eleven actions and a reading, by one of the youngest members of the community, of the Protection Plan of the Mountain, written by the artist herself.

The artist Francesc Ruiz has been chosen to respond to the challenge of drought and depopulation in the Non plus ultra project.

Over the next few months, it will develop an artistic proposal, in collaboration with a group of young people from the south of Badajoz, which will allow us to think of exciting futures that overcome the imaginary of desertification and abandonment of the land.

The artist, Asunción Molinos Gordo, inaugurates the artistic result together with the community of mountains of Couso with the ritual feast 'Os sentires do monte'.

The celebration day, which will take place on Saturday, 12 October and will last all day, will consist of a tour around the communal forests, with several stops in important places, where a group of actions linked to the constituent elements of the forest will take place.

We are determined to tell you that this is extraordinary.
