Crepitaciones: archivos y sonografías de un barrio

Abstract

This project analyzes the transformation of the Santa Fe neighborhood through a personal archive that, as both witness and inhabitant, reflects on the changes occurring within the urban space. It explores how fear-based imaginaries shape the construction of marginalized territories, employed as tools of capitalist development and intertwined with notions of progress, visible in restoration plans such as the 2022–2035 Land Management Plan (POT) and the construction of Bogotá’s metro system. The archive is presented as an entryway into the non-visual image, centered on listening and sound, in order to question alternative ways of relating to space. Sound, language, archive, and image intertwine, nourishing memory and revealing meaningful connections with the territory.
