Devices for Democracy Drawing

It is a project that was born within the framework of the demonstrations that took place in Ecuador, October 2019 and seeks to reflect on the legitimate role of the collective taking of public space as a democratic ritual for the popular construction of the state based on certain political decisions, social, economic, etc. In the first instance, what I did was a collection of tire ashes in the public space of the city of Cuenca, (tires used in the October demonstrations) and I made a graphite or cisco to develop the artistic proposal, which consists of two plays; In the first, I represent my face as an artist but also as a citizen of this multi-ethnic and intergenerational territory (elderly, female, mestizo, indigenous, Afro, etc.), understanding that recognition as an act of empathy suggested in the demonstrations, where interculturality is summoned for the active participation of the country's political direction and in the second work I graphed a series of objects that over the years in Latin America have been used in different manifestations, as a kind of archaeological objects that in some future nearby will suggest the different "democratic" paths of the region. The aesthetics of the work is based on the image of the glitch (error in digital culture), and I seek to reflect on how the act of the demonstration becomes a glitch or error within the constitutional parameters of democracy, but without However, they are a legitimate and necessary act for the participatory transformation of peoples.
