The collaboration between PRE-TEXTOS and the Observatory on Design and Creation of the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University represents a powerful and transformative union in the field of research, academics, and the community. Johanna Zárate Hernández, coordinator of the Observatory, observes that this synergy has allowed the integration of innovative research and methodology that enrich both academic practice and community impact. PRE-TEXTOS, with its focus on creative stimulation and interdisciplinary dialogue, complements the Observatory’s effort to promote design and creation from a critical and participatory perspective. Together, these initiatives not only strengthen the ties between theory and practice, but also facilitate a dynamic space for reflection, learning, and collaboration for the benefit of all actors involved.
