K'ancha (Public scene program)
Project in collaboration with Carlos Rivero and Nicolás Obregon
Collective construction of a map of the popular imagination in the communities of the "upper" NOA territory. We take "NOA region" as an articulating concept to define a territorial space, with an open, dynamic and constantly developing identity.
We approach the project from the “relational art” emphasizing the dialogues that can be established by intersecting different cultural dimensions (rites, myths, legends, music, dances, etc.) during the mapping process and the documentary record of the activities we carry out in the community spaces chosen for the practice.
Taking the word “Kancha” as a poetic trigger, which summarizes the way in which Andean cultures perceive space, made up of three planes that are the vertical, the horizontal and virtual. We visited four representative communities and we developed a collective mapping workshop where, through group and playful work, instances of exchange of customs and knowledge for the elaboration of popular stories and poetry.
This living map contemplates the subjectivities of the cultural processes in the territories, the people who inhabit it are the ones who really create and transform the spaces or "Kanchas", molding them from the daily inhabit, transit, perceive and create.
