Radicante. The Orientation Table: A Device to Link Rural Orchards and Marketplaces
Winner of the call of the Ministry of Culture - national cultural consultation program, 2017
Radicante used the body-landscape relationship to trace linked pathways on the routes, and by registering diverse communities’ forms of expression in the alto Ricaurte region it positioned the portrait as an alternative means of following these routes.
The experience stimulated the emergence of heritage narratives about the territory by making visible in the images the bodies, places and everyday lives of the farmers in the lands they traditionally inhabit.
The itinerancy of the portrait - photo, video, audio - activated public spaces of transit and cultural pathways that activated past-present links that inspired questions related to the image such as: What was it like? What is it like now? How and via whom can I be part of this portrait?

Trabajo de campo
Durante el proceso de la investigación creativa y la forma de laboratorio, indagamos, compartimos y nos vinculamos con quienes tienen el lugar, haciendo las estrategias para el tránsito y el intercambio de dispositivos en la mesa, nos proporcionan en cada encuentro
Metodología
The participatory methodology was activated during transit and exchange on the rural roads that connect villages; taking the table, exchanging seeds, visiting marketplaces and, finally, introducing the portrait as a sensitive narrative of image and sound, and distributing photographs that documented the cultural geography of the routes.
By viewing the dynamic of the marketplace as a heritage strength, the Orientation Table achieved through its documentation and installations the expansion of the image as a way of forming links with a cultural geography.
Gestualidad hortelana
Narratives were collected from orchards and marketplaces about the transformation of exchange networks and the circulation of products as common problematic manifestations of current pathways.
