Mujer diosa. Autoficción, petroglifos y performance: la herencia ancestral de una familia integrada por mujeres.

Abstract

The present study is born from the interest in placing myself in a place in research in the arts; discover my roots in my existential evolution, the legacy of my family's memory and the impact that my place of origin had at the beginning of my career and my vocation as an artist. For this reason, I set myself the objective of making a sensitive approach to some petroglyphs from Cundinamarca as archetypal expressions of human worldviews and self-fiction based on the ancestral memory of a woman belonging to a family made up of women, in order to create an artistic dance expression or performance. For this, first of all, I identified, in some Cundinamarca petroglyphs, the archetypal content of human worldviews and their potential for the representativeness of dance art. Secondly, I reconstructed, from recollection exercises, the ancestral memory of my family made up of women, this as a basis for the creation of an autofiction text; finally, create an artistic dance expression or performance, based on autofiction and its sensitive relationship with some petroglyphs located in Mesitas del Colegio, in order to highlight ancestral and family memory. The methodology that I used was, on the one hand, to make a life story where I capture key moments in my training as a person and as a professional; On the other hand, I made a visit to several municipalities of Cundinamarca, especially Mesitas del Colegio, where I grew up; This tour helped me to complement the life story, but also to have a sensitive encounter with the petroglyphs of the area, a fundamental input of this proposal; Based on this, I narrate an autofiction, which serves as the main element for the performance.
