Those Those who look, draw stories

Abstract

Drawing to preserve was a collective project integrated by neighbors of Sierras Chicas. It was developed within the area protected by the Los Quebrachitos Reserve, in Unquillo, from March to December 2023. This territory has a pre-existing urgency, to preserve the forest, and this task of care requires a certain obstinacy. Affections, attentive gazes, sensitive strategies and tactics put into a horizontal and collective tool: drawing. In dialogue with the participatory methodology built throughout the meetings, the text gathers part of these voices and materials, with the desire to expand the experience in a collaborative way.
