Pedra’s Manifesto

To dive into Pedra is to sow the gaze of childhood.

It is to ensure that wonder remains a constant, eternal act.

It is to make room for dreaming.

It is to make sure the details are still seen through the magnifying glass of

sensitivity.

It is to behold the world in its entirety —

and also, to unsee all that seems so obvious.

To reshape objects with new meaning,

to imagine what is not yet, to believe in the human power to transform, and to

perceive the invisible threads that weave all knowledge together.

In our practice, hope lives in nature, in people, and in every encounter.

With every gesture, we cultivate the belief that by assembling each other’s

patchwork pieces together, we become more complete.

To enter Pedra is to be changed, permanently, knowing the world will never look the

same again, for I no longer walk by myself alone.

Within me, I carry many — diverse, vibrant, plural, and unique.

Within me, I carry nature — nourishment, ancestry, essence.

Here, one’s dream reaches out and joins hands with mine.

For our school was born from a vast dream: the dream of giving voice to dreams.
