Preparing for Kreeh Chinen Festival

The crew of Milagro will be present, as a partner, at the 5th edition of the Kreeh Chinen Festival!

This event, which we have supported since its creation, will be held on November 29 at Restobar Punto de Encuentro in Tolhuin (province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina).

The Festival: a place of artistic gathering

The Kreeh Chinen Festival, a Selk’nam word meaning “clinging to the moon” according to its founders, aims to bring together artists, poets, writers, musicians, and painters from throughout Tierra del Fuego province. Each of the three major cities in the province is represented, and the initiative was designed to foster independent, solidarity-based artistic exchange open to local initiatives: producers, artisans, and small organizations are invited to participate. The previous edition, already supported by Karukinka, underscores this collective and ambitious dimension: “The idea is to make visible the regional, environmental, and cultural themes of indigenous peoples,” explain in unison two of the organizers, Lauriane Lemasson, a French researcher, and Alejandro Pinto, writer and poet from Río Grande.

Why Karukinka is associated with it

The Karukinka Association, founded with the ambition to “build the missing bridge between Europe and Tierra del Fuego,” has been committed for many years to indigenous peoples and heritage projects in the region. The partnership with Kreeh Chinen thus naturally aligns with its mission:

• To promote cultural expressions from southern Argentina (Tierra del Fuego) in their authenticity, independence, and diversity.
• To strengthen connections between local actors (artists, artisans, indigenous communities) and a broader public, beyond borders.
• To contribute to an event that highlights not only art but also environmental, cultural, and heritage themes linked to the indigenous peoples of the region.

What is planned for November 29, 2025

At Restobar Punto de Encuentro in Tolhuin, you will be able to discover:

• Musicians coming from throughout Tierra del Fuego province,
• Poets and writers sharing stories, voices, and local imaginaries,
• Painters and visual artists displaying their works,
• A moment of sharing and encounter, in the spirit of Kreeh Chinen, which values both art, local engagement, and cooperation.

This 5th edition of the Kreeh Chinen Festival will once again allow us to celebrate art, culture, and solidarity in Tierra del Fuego. We will share more details about this event with you soon!
