Ernesto Pujol

Ernesto Pujol is a Lecturer at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design (University of Pennsylvania) specializing in Fine Arts. As a multi-disciplinary queer maker, they create socially-engaged art practices that combine ecological design, historical memory, and contemplative methodologies. Their work emphasizes trust-based collaborations with communities globally, focusing on sustainability and human rights.

• Focus Areas: Social Choreography, Edible Horticultural Design, Creative Critical Writing
• Key Themes: Climate Crisis, Queer Theory, Post-Democratic Art

Pujol's research explores ecologically and socially-engaged art practices that counteract the cult of speed through silent interventions. Their public performances and walking workshops use slowness and stillness to foster deep listening and consciousness awakening. The work intersects land art, social practice, and contemplative pedagogy.

Key project trends include site-specific art in emblematic architecture, mythical landscape reclamation, and transformative field education. Their publications reveal interests in walking meditations, community-based healing, and spiritual sustainability.
