Territorios Domésticos: Reparar y (auto)educar en Centroamérica 1990 - 2010 es una exhibición curada por Erika Martin Arroyo y Sofía Villena Araya en TEOR/eTica (San José, CR). Esta exhibición muestra diversos proyectos artísticos en Centroamérica que han surgido en casas/hogares y existen como espacios de resistencia institucional por falta de apoyo estatal. Son territorios independientes y autogestionados, y como resultado, lo doméstico emerge donde el cuidado de la comunidad se entrelaza con su vida cotidiana.
Me invitaron a colaborar con la conceptualización y diseño de una instalación participativa en la sala Lo Doméstico es Colectivo. Diseñé esta instalación como una invitación para imaginar y dibujar como sería nuestro hogar ideal. La sala presenta distintas posibilidades de lo puede ser un hogar, mostrando 12 tipos de casas (resultado del mapeo de estos territorios domésticos en Centroamérica). Decidí representar los distintos tipos de casa en forma de planos. Las personas podían elegir el tipo de casa con la que más se identificaban, y dibujar en el plano su hogar ideal.
Domestic Territories: Repairing and Educating in Central America (1990-2010) is an exhibition curated by Erika Martin Arroyo and Sofía Villena Araya at TEOR/éTica (San José, CR). This exhibition showcases various artistic projects in Central America that have emerged in houses or other types of places that have become homes. They are independent and self-managed territories. These spaces exist as a political resistance to the lack of institutional infraestruture, and in some cases, repression. As a result, a domesticity emerges, where the care of the community is intertwined in their daily life.
I was invited to collaborate with the conceptualization and design of a participatory installation in one of the exhibition’s rooms called The domestic is collective. I designed this installation as an invitation for the visitor to explore and draw how their ideal home would look. This room presents the visitor with different possibilities of what a home can be, displaying 12 types of houses -shown as floor plans- that broadly display different independent artistic spaces found in Central America (Feminist House, Diverse House, School House...). The visitor can choose the type of house they connect with the most, and draw their ideal home.
