Relatos de vida, presencia y ausencia: un acercamiento a la ceguera entendida como una creación sensorial

Abstract

This research-creation proposal focuses on the complex sensory universe of blindness within the context of contemporary visual culture. The starting point is based on the idea that blindness is the creation of a particular type of sensoriality and not the incorporation of a pre-established state. Therefore, it is a sensitive condition that materializes in a process of creation and particular sensory elaboration that requires approaches that account for this bodily process. Consequently, the various possibilities and sensitive potentialities that characterize blindness are addressed here in a group of four people with innate and acquired Visual Impairment. To this end, a biographical-narrative approach is proposed through access to their life stories and their particular way of knowing and constructing the world. In this way, the individual and collective sensitive dimension is explored, while attempting to understand and make visible the manifestations of their creative sensory process.
