Arqueologías de la memoria de las familias de San Antón
(Memories' arqueology of San Anton's families)

in collaboration with Marco Montiel-Soto

This project will take place during the residence program 'Permanencias' in Cuenca (ES), from 1.10 – 15.12.2015.

This project is a continuation of a similar project launched in 2013 by Marco Montiel-Soto in the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo, which involved the selection and further exposure of personal and decorative objects belonging to the households from the neighborhood of Santa Lucia.

In this case, the idea will move to the district of San Anton as a workshop and subsequent exhibition, in which the neighbors participate in the selection of their own personal items. The selection of these items is based on family and personal memory, with the intention of generating a new collective discourse at the end of the process.

The result of this project will not only consist on the presentation, but on a virtual collection of images, videos and audio files related to personal items to be collected within an interactive map and the possibility of temporary access to it on the website of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Cuenca, where the map information will progressively appear and disappear, symbolizing the memory processes and its ephemerality.
