Dos metodologías etnográficas se entrelazan en este texto: la práctica textil y el quehacer audiovisual, ambas como experiencias estéticas que invitan a la acción colectiva en contextos donde las violencias permean la vida cotidiana. El ejercicio de la memoria y el hacer corpóreo que implican estas apuestas etnográficas, nos permiten investigar desde una dimensión afectiva y sensible temas tan terribles como la desaparición forzada, así como apelar a dispositivos testimoniales que activen el registro, la escucha y la documentación, anticipando la acción social y promoviendo la investigación comprometida.
Two different ethnographic methodologies are inter-woven in this text: the textile art and the audiovisual documentation, both of them as aesthetic experiences that call forth social organization and collective action within contexts of violence. The exercising of memory and the bodily work that these ethnographic proposals imply, have allowed me to conduct research on such dreadful subjects as forced disappearance from a perspective of affection, sensitivity and full commit-ment. It was through the art of weaving that I got to know the People-Searching Collective from the state of Michoacán, Mexico. Meeting this collective encouraged me to create an audiovisual document from the Fifth Searching-for-the-Disappeared Caravan, which took place in the above-mentioned state, in May 2019. This experience shows the importance of interdisciplinary methodologies to document memory. The valuation of textile and audiovisual testimonies contributes to the recognition of the victims as creators and agents of social chance
