Abstract

The world is one but the many have not yet found their place in it. Our own nature as human beings makes us forever look at the world from a specific place, a specific time. The horizon of our eyes has always been transformed into the boundary of ‘our world’. What happens when we can see beyond our known horizon, to the other side of the world? What we see are countless different cultures that are now part of ‘our world’.

Convivencia in Spanish means not only the conviviality of sharing an agreeable feast as in English or French. Vivencia in Spanish means a life experience so that convivencia means not only sharing together but actually living the experience together.
