L4R comes from the Latin lar(es), which means "hearth." Fire was the most important technological discovery in history. By parallelism, today a similarly transformative discovery is digital technology.

L4R is a non-profit cultural association based in Sepúlveda, Segovia. The association was founded as an international artistic collective in 2018 in Rome, Italy, and since 2024, we have been established in Sepúlveda, Spain. From the beginning, our mission has been to merge new technologies, performing arts and community action to explore artistic and sociocultural themes. The projects and productions of L4R are coordinated by Clara Román (Spain) and Tiago Branchini (Brazil).

Our artistic productions engage with architecture, interacting with imagery and music, and connecting with audiences through fleeting stories and the art of contemplation. We work with the videomapping technique to create video art installations applied to the architectural heritage of towns and cities, as well as digital stage designs for theatrical and performance works. We blend various artistic disciplines, integrating both digital and analog techniques to create multidisciplinary artworks while upholding our commitment to sustainability and inclusion—using reclaimed materials in our productions and creating shows that are accessible to all audiences.

In our socially impactful projects, our main objective is the development of community culture initiatives and digital inclusion for rural and peripheral communities, enabling the use of new technologies as a form of expression. Our approach to digital inclusion embraces a broad perspective that recognizes the synergy between digital art and performing arts. Over the past year, we’ve focused on the follow key areas of socially engaged projects: technology, memory & community; education, art & territory and international projects.

We carry out community creation projects with older people to recover the memory, traditions and stories of small communities through socially engaged art workshops combined with digital inclusion. We collaborate with organizations and municipalities, creating public actions that reach the entire local community and foster intergenerational dialogue. We've realized projects such as Reflejos del Futuro (2024), Tejiendo memorias e historias (2024–2025) and Santa Águeda y la transmisión oral en Sepúlveda (2025).

We also organize community artistic residencies where artists and young people from different countries come together to share practices and experiences in non-formal education. We operate under the Erasmus+ program and collaborate with associations from other countries, both as a sending and hosting organization.
