El Colgadero 1st Edition: San Victorino
Project by Colectivo Mezcoliche
Artistic Intervention in public space
Socio-cultural exchange
Plaza de San Victorino, Bogotá D.C. Colombia
2019
This project proposes to rethink the social dynamics of the public space of Bogotá, Colombia through the activation, in non-institutional approaches, of the cultural processes in the public space of the city.
It is an artistic intervention in the form of a clothesline where objects, knowledges, experiences, services and everything that can be exchanged in this context are “hung” and taken down. El colgadero is an allegory of the clothesline, it is a rope that invites exchange: someone picks up something and in return offers something else, resulting in dialogues between the people who inhabit the city. The rope works as an object that creates a place to appropriate, where citizens can initiate a more significant and closer relationship with the space they constantly use.
