Arqueología del gesto:bocetar nuestras identidades Archeology of the gesture: sketching our identities

Abstract

Gesture archeology is a research project that, from contemporary dance and sound exploration, aims to link our identities in relation to the concepts of history and memory from a series of approaches to the Mapuche and Tiahuanaco communities. From this laboratory space open to thinking practice, we try to build critical sensibilities that interrogate those stories that propose closed identities, resolved stories and accessible memories. In this sense, this work is in the line defined by Borgdorff (2010) as research in the arts or perspective of action, which does not contemplate the difference between research and artistic practice. This is the gesture that appears as a research tool that in the analyzes from the epistemological perspective, dialogues with proposals that are developed from dance studies, postcolonial and anticolonial discourses and feminisms.
