LWCircus non profit organization promotes the Italian – Mexican Operative Shared Program created during 2016 and focused on experimental modalities looking for new strategies for sustainable urban and rural development and the revitalization of cultural landscapes trough social inclusion, thanks to design methods based on shared practices, choral attitudes and osmotic processes within resilient communities on particular sensitive areas in the Mediterranean and Developing Countries. LWCircus is working since the foundation in between Florence, Rome and Asinara Natural Park, as well as rural villages in Yucatan and China. The mission is the social inclusion trough medium of art in rural, natural and urban contexts, working all over the world with artist, architects and landscape architects trough formula of operative workshops to revitalize places with communities and their minorities. The operative shared workshops stimulate the creation of a multicultural and interdisciplinary flow to exchange knowledge, information, attitudes, skills and real-world know-how through artistic expression and multiple forms of media. LWCircus designed symbiotic and adaptive processes. It made it in the transfigured rural villages of China, as well as in the Sardinian landscape of Asinara island, where the human beings were adapted over the years finding a way to live symbiotically with the natural environment, establishing a delicate equilibrium and in some way protecting the delicate ecosystem, and also in the Yucatan, among the Mayan minorities, whose resilient abilities date back to millenary habits of adaptation to continuous environmental changes or even in Florence, where triggers were necessary to reactivate life correspondences, in between citizens and refugees. In all of this, the protagonist has been always the landscape, the result of the action and interaction between the human and more than human. LWCircus works by means of artistic languages that generate symbolic spaces germinated by temporary choral installations. Although they are made with perishable elements or with time-resistant scraps, these are capable of being real narrative devices in which the historical memory of the places is revisited to reactivate the knowledge of the landscape, undertaking renewed relationships with the landscape itself, a peculiarity of resilient communities.
