PRÁTICAS DE PERFORMATIVAS E O CONFLITO DA MEMÓRIA NA COLÔMBIA

construindo um arquivo digital “decolonial” e justiça epistemológica

Abstract

This article examines Corpografías, a digital archive that documents the artistic practices of Afro and Indigenous Colombian communities and their role in memory, peace, and reconciliation in the Colombian Pacific. It combines dance, theatre, and performance studies with social sciences and digital humanities, centering Afro and Indigenous communities in the archive’s development. The project challenges the marginalization of these communities by shedding light on their agency and dignity and addressing the interconnectedness of conflict, justice, peace, and reconciliation in Colombia. Corpografías emphasizes the significance of art and culture in conflict contexts, contributing to discussions on cognitive justice. It also provides safe spaces for community gathering and solidarity, fostering unity and collective expression. The project explores the processes that contribute to art and culture while addressing the communities’ structural claims for territory, identity, resources, and traditions. Ultimately, Corpografías amplifies afro and indigenous voices and knowledge, challenging dominant narratives and supporting the resilience and artistic production of these communities.
