Critical Ecologies was an event housed in the Water Gallery during the International Architecture Biennale of Buenos Aires 2017. Organized by CCPM, with the support of the General Directorate of Urban Regeneration, Ministry of Environment and Public Space of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

The event assembled different versions about the relationship between the city, the territory and the buildings developed in the context of the Art District, in La Boca. The program included a series of conversations that composed diverse perspectives on three issues

within the area: the creation of the Art District with the consequent development of contemporary art institutions within the urban network, the more than two hundred years of pollution and constant failure to clean up the Riachuelo-Matanza basin and the possible roles that the architectural discipline could engage in this context.
