Roth of Azulik [recent lecture]

Wed Nov-06 6pm @ EMPAC:

ARCHITECTURE IN RELATION TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, NATURE AND ART /
ROTH OF AZULIK.

Screenwriter, film director, painter, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Eduardo Neira, better known as Roth, has created AZULIK, a brand that develops initiatives in the fields of hospitality, architecture, sustainability, wellness, gastronomy, art, fashion, luxury, design, creativity and innovation.

With every space he creates he aims to reconnect individuals and “tribes” –both native and postmodern– with themselves, with one another, with others and with the environment.

For over 20 years, he has brought attention to a constant dialogue with communities to promote their integral development, encouraging the preservation of local culture and the recovery of knowledge and values from ancestral wisdom. This interest converges with the concern of exploring, through art, a reflection about the being itself and our impact on the planet.

He is currently developing a 126 hectares’ project in the jungle of Tulum that is to be constructed without cutting a single tree that involves the creation of art galleries, artists’ residencies, fashion and design workshops, a recording studio, restaurants and a R&D kitchen, an architectural firm, 3 hotels, a contemporary art museum, collectors’ residences, condominiums, a wellness and detox center and a stem cell replacement center, an integrative medicine and traditional Mayan medicine center.

He is also developing a network of art and health schools in the Yucatan peninsula for Mayan communities, and in the near future, in Amazonia and Patagonia
