Artistic and geographical routes

there are many stories to tell and cartograph

Abstract

By intertwining the artistic making with the geographical
making, the author brings the experience and the body as
primordial threads for this “fabric” making. The work deals with
the art of storytelling in an urban context motivated by the interest in listening and narrating to relate and interact with spatial
experiences in cities. The narrator body, also a researcher in geography, tells his process and paths that led him to his academic research, exposing some of the questions that follow him such as: what stories can cities tell us beyond those officially established?
What narratives are awake by ordinary people, beings, monuments, buildings in our imaginaries? And those people who make the city happen, who are kept in silence and smashed by hierarchical
structures, what are their stories? With these questions and cycling the landscapes of the city, in its geographicity, the author listens to stories and in a cartographic gesture
narrates them.
