TOPOPHILIA: Challenges when habitating
Topophilia: Challenges when habitating gathered the proposals from 14 artists that through their gazes set manifest to the relationship with context, they question it; value the experience with the territory, make reference to the history and the social roots. As a sum, this exposition recognizes the affection as the motor to ressist the forces (the challenging forces) and manifests then as the push towards knowledge and the reinterpretation of the territory, situating us as co-participants of a common world.
Habitating in a defined space and time gives a certain perspective regarding the surrounding territory or environment: Part of this perception; a perception developed by information acquiered by the senses; received , questioned and interpreted from cognitive processes; confronted and shared with living beings that together conform a community. This perspective is unique given that it comes from each individual. It generates a feeling towards the space, and its this to what we refer as Topophilia.
