Agora(s): Spaces for Approaching an Idea of Visual Territory around the Cauca Corridor

Abstract

Identity spaces are complex in any country. The complexity in Colombia and specifically to the south, regions ranged within the Cauca road corridor, they have a need for being listened and visualized in terms of their diversity, to comprehend identity processes attached to Colonia times. The project we are presenting addresses, from plastic creation, an approach to the idea of visual space and interrelated to the diversity of voices and discourses. The territory is a non-narrowed space able to disrupt and dissolve boundaries from what we conceive as a mapIn this sense. Agora (s), explores the approaches of social-moral discourse construction around different ideas about the definition of cultural territory developed in Colombia in recent years, chiefly, the Panamericano road corridor. From a hybrid methodology practice, we believe the origin of social, visual and oral discourse tends to be nowadays. The visual, here, is constructed as the basis for a direct dynamics of feeling, the everyday life conceived and experienced as a proximity resource, also from the constitution of realities. The image, in a wide sense, enables the possibility of reading that difference, which is to some extent, the emergence of a forgotten population in post-conflict times that needs urgently to build a representation space.
