Laboratory for transdiscipline and academic disruption (LabTRANS):
Mayra Moreno
I use the pandescope as a way to approach the current situation and to make catharsis of the pandemic that we are experiencing, together with my students, it is good that we all talk about the ups and downs that we have had throughout the pandemic.
Sandra Cobián
I have used the pandescope in an emotional literacy workshop aimed to teachers, who in turn have used it with their students as a platform to express their emotions throughout the pandemic 🥰
Gibran Zúñiga
The pandescope became the visible bridge that exists between reality and fiction of those stories of extreme crisis that force us to rethink life, not only from what can be considered philosophical but also from the experiential, it forces us to sit down a moment to answer questions that we would not have asked ourselves as a collective in other situations. And they go from the collective such as “what is fair in working hours?” to the most individual as “on what do I base my emotional health?”
Edgard Flores
I use the pandescope as a window to new realities. When we started the project, i thought to use it as a catharsis space, but i have found more interesting to know the multiplicity of ways people found to live and endure a situation as extraordinary as the one we are living with the pandemic.

Gibran Octavio Zúñiga Urzúa
Gibran is dedicated to eploring everyday narratives from the experiential in different platforms, not only literature, but also the day-to-day forms an approach in wich we structure the everyday stories where everything influences and everything mixes. From a remix perspective in wich nothing is original based on difference but on origin, in addition, all cultural product being a constant mixture is crossed by all aspects of the social, there is no speech without politics or economics, besides to the aesthetic and academic conceptions from which its elaboration starts, and faced with this position, the questions of how we tell what we tell and the foundations we use to tell it generates an approach to literacy.
