Totoreros

Totoreros is a project launched in 2023 to restore El Carpincho Lagoon in Junín, Argentina. Led by Alejandro Meitin (CasaRíoLab), Franco Palacios Beltrán (Arquitectura Rioplatense), Carlos Gorard, Jesu Antuña, and Silvina Arán (Los Totoreros community kitchen), the initiative works with locals from Los Totoreros neighborhood—wetland workers and ecosystem experts. It was recognized by the G20 Global Land Initiative (UNCCD) and addresses socio-environmental issues through outreach programs. The group held the Totoreros exhibition at Tono Local Gallery in Junín.
