Aerocene Pacha: A Sustainable Utopia

Secondary School (12-16 years)

On January 28, 2020, in the Salinas Grandes of the province of Jujuy, Argentina, a woman flew for the first time in Aeroceno: a hot air balloon created by the artist Tomás Aeroceno that does not use fuel, solar panels, batteries or helium; it is only powered by the sun's heat and drafts. An event in which native communities, specialists and fans of the Korean band BTS (promoter of the project) participated. Is it possible to fly without fossil fuels? The Aerocene Pacha balloon flight proposes a sustainable utopia to fight pollution and excessive exploitation of natural resources.
