The cultural center on wheels can transform from office space, to open-air theater, to small screening room. When it opens in Ecuador, the Train of Knowledge promises to bring new voices to the civic conversation.
When old rail lines stopped running along the coast of Ecuador, the towns that had grown up around the train stations were mostly left behind by the outside world. Now, 12 years after train service ended, an old freight car is about to start running again, this time transformed into a mobile cultural center that visits remote communities.
