The Founding Library of Chimaná Village

The Founding
Library

“Chimaná is not merely a place. It is a way of inhabiting the world.”

Explore the works↓

The Founding Library gathers the thinking that gives Chimaná its origin and its direction: the story of an awakening, the memory of a land, the principles that guide every decision, and the maxims that distill them.

Four works moving through seven shared themes.
