Rastros campesinos. Prácticas estéticas campesinas en la vereda Los Soches

Abstract

Based on the concept of peasant aesthetic practices, the artist investigates the sensitive and material relationships that emerge in the peasantry in Colombia and the aesthetic recognition of these subjects as part of society. This work collects the existing relationships in the history and present of the Agroparque los Soches, a natural and peasant reserve that arises after a process of territorial defense carried out by the peasants in 1996 after the urban expansion of Bogotá, in the course of from this investigation a series of aesthetic-plastic artifacts emerge from the grass that reflect peasant feelings and longings, these being traces in the countryside, however, these undergo metamorphosis from generation to generation as well as undergo a spatial transformation since this path currently occupies the which is called the urban-rural border of the fifth town of Usme. Throughout the research-creation, it is taken for granted that this community, apart from resisting in its territory, re-exists from aesthetic, cultural, social, historical and decolonial exercises. Coming across the work entitled "Farm Traces, Peasant Aesthetic Practices of the Soches" it is to find these feelings materialized from a sound, visual, plastic and above all peasant montage with each of the gadgets addressed by the artist.
