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.
Within this research milieu, my expanded body research the civic/public body, its organization role in bringing to live the city as an organism, deploying day-to-day actions, like transiting and walking to embodied forms of passage, articulation and circulation. In this, the violence of the capitalist, efficient city emerges and the frontal encounter with objectification of subjects begs questions, reflections and actions that brings us closer to a more human, embodied and collective self.
