Resumen de El barrio, la herida y el olvido que seremos
- español
Este ensayo visual pone el foco en la fotografía documental como método para conocernos tanto individual como colectivamente. Habla del valor de preservar nuestro pasado e identidad, divulgar el conocimiento de manera horizontal para construir una sociedad consciente y conectada, que sea capaz de tomar las mejores decisiones en pro de un futuro mejor. Utilizando la experiencia del proyecto Palma Palmilla, el ensayo El barrio, la herida y el olvido que seremos, habla de la posibilidad de construir nuestro propio relato, del barrio como hábitat que es también hogar, del cuerpo como contenedor emocional (la herida) y por supuesto, de la fotografía como herramienta de transformación social, un contenedor de la memoria colectiva que servirá para profundizar en los dilemas de nuestro tiempo y preservar así, el olvido que seremos.

During the development of the Palma Palmilla project, I was not aware of the human dimension, also anthropological, that it involved. But today, as I write these lines, I realize its full potential. Documentary photography moves and evolves towards a place that seems fundamental to me in order to continue exploring who we are and where we are going, a space where we know ourselves, as individuals, as a collective, as a species. This project started from an honest desire to discover, preserve and divulge the reality of Palma Palmilla, a territory that had been forgotten by everyone since its beginnings and that deserved to turn on the light that had been off for so long. We are nobody without our history, and this visual essay The neighborhood, the wound and the oblivion that we will be, speaks of that: of how we built the world in which we live, of the neighborhood as a habitat that is also home, of a lifestyle, in danger of extinction. A space-time that one day will serve to speak of the forgetfulness that we will be.
