Cuerpo y Ciudad is a creative inquiry method that uses the body as a site of civic inquiry, asking how individuals and communities negotiate power, belonging, and daily life through movement in public space.
The practice explores how social structures, urban design, and collective histories reflected in the city are experienced and internalized physically. By placing the body in direct dialogue with the city, the method reveals how civic conditions shape movement, action, and community making.
Below are some exercises that explore personal narratives I will reveal as each project becomes public, as they are still in construction. For now, the tension between public and private space (Rights as stated in the 4th amendment), the desire to live in another territory (migration) that I can afford (affordability) and call my own (rootedness), and the tension experienced within transportation systems (mobility) are some of the issues I am currently exploring.

Crossing (Intervention 7)
When perception opens, seemingly foreign and closed structures, impossible actions, open their path (for whatever purpose, new step, or horizon we might desire). Feeling our capacity to transform seemingly impossible structural issues, is possible through attention and creative practices.
When perception opens, memory reminds us that these constructs were designed after us, and our vision finds obvious connections, so that we can decide the course of action. to cross or not.

Eating Space (Intervencion #3)
Redigesting:
To eat the space at the top of our lungs. To not hold back on what we want.
To extend energy outward, to take ownership of what surrounds our field.
To travel, to project with presence, to reach with claws.

For that visceral reality we are yearning to occupy, the one we keep swallowing in.
