CASA REDONDA

CASA REDONDA (round house; maison ronde) is an artistic collective dedicated to developing and promoting artistic work, cultural events, and community-based creation. The project seeks to be an integral part of human development, engaging with both local and digital social life. It grows directly from the spirit of the Common Home collage workshops and the collaborative scenography piece initiated by Rita RA — www.rita-ra.com.

The term “Common Home” was first introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev during the drafting of the Earth Charter¹, and later used by Pope Francis in Laudato Sí: On the Care of Our Common Home² to describe the profound interconnectedness of all living species on Planet Earth. Both contexts call for conscious, collective action toward “a more just, sustainable, and peaceful global society in the 21st century.”³

CASA REDONDA is a living, collaborative artistic movement devoted to imagining and creating together the world we wish to inhabit. It is an invitation to shape — with our hands, bodies, memories, and differences — a shared vision of our round house, the circular space we build in common, where no one stands above or below another and where every contribution becomes part of the whole.

In CASA REDONDA, creation is a collective gesture. We assemble fragments, stories, images, and more into an ever-growing round home, expanding with time and with the presence of all who choose to join. This is a space of co-creation, where we affirm together:

“Let’s go together. Let’s enjoy together. Let’s build together. Let’s live creatively and peacefully with one another. Everyone is welcome.”

CASA REDONDA exists because a common home is both a right and a responsibility. It calls for the participation of everyone — with their unique qualities, cultures, vulnerabilities, and strengths. Each person brings a piece of the circle; each voice shapes the architecture of this shared space.

The idea of a common home resonates with global visions that recognize the deep interconnectedness of all living beings and the urgent need for collective, conscious action toward a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. CASA REDONDA embraces these principles not as abstract ideals but as daily practices of care, creativity, and community-building.

CASA REDONDA is a gesture of hope: a circular home that grows through collaboration a space where difference becomes strength a place where we learn that the world is shaped by the hands of all of us, together.
