No. 7 (2021): Cartographies, Memories and Territories

This issue emerges from the need to make conversation with situated artistic practices that welcome their time and space to create coordinates of singular actions and thoughts. While the sciences and the arts had to fit into general structures of knowledge at the end of the last century, the new post-truth millennium forces us to face up to the unavoidable need to embrace our fields of vision and make sense of our discourses. 

With this goal in mind, we call for works that reflect on the relations between artistic practices and their environment and we encourage them to observe processes of action and creation inhabited by spaces, times, textures, bxdies, periods of history, cultural relations, and social practices. In this way, the different experiences, practices, actions, and reflections that this issue collects account for the broad repertoire of ways in which these different dimensions that inhabit us take place. Intervening public monuments, conveying new senses to places with our bodies, rewriting social memories, drawing new maps, redesigning typical landscapes, building oblivion maps, and recording the invisibility of time are only some of the poetic strategies and operations that bring us closer to different ways of seeing, being and understanding the world. These emotional and political perceptions turn into reflective strokes and materials that allow us to recognize, reinterpret, deconstruct, and reconstruct our ways of living together.
