How to make a live sebe

Cutting, nailing, twisting and knotting are some of the gestures necessary to make a living sebe. Only the skilled hands of those who have made hundreds can help us to give them their rightful value, collect, preserve and share them.

In a work to expand the exhibition proposal of NESTING IN THE GESTURE: Alberto's bookshelves We will carry out three days of restoration of the traditional living beeches, a type of enclosure common in our area until the arrival of land consolidation. Their disappearance not only extinguishes a specific form of land boundary between our neighbours but also eliminates the possibility of habitability of other beings that, among other functions, favour pollination.

The proposal, guided by our colleague and neighbour of Cerezales del Condado, Maximino Sánchez, will have the support of Victor Casas, biologist and author of the book ‘Sebes, the cultural landscapes of Leon’.’. The closing of the conference will conclude with an open discussion between the writer and the participants.

With the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sport in collaboration with the Junta de Castilla y León. Integrated in the recovery plan and Next Generation funds of the European Union.
