THE EJIDO LOS CAMPOS, BETWEEN ART AND RESEARCH : An art project of social interaction
Synopsis
This book is one of the results of the artistic research-production project “Los Campos”, initiated by Berenice Cortés Campos in 2015, which she continues to develop until the date of publication of this text. What is presented here (first phase of the project), includes references and reflections linked to issues of art history and theory(s), mainly on functionality that lay the foundations for the approach of this proposal as research as well as artistic production.
In addition, by inquiring into and accounting for the social dynamics of the locality of origin of the researcher-artist, it is the beginning of a qualitative social research that, in recent years, has worked in greater depth.
Also included is the documentation of actions that together with the research process (inquiry, observation, reflection, writing) make up the artistic production of the project. Actions/pieces such as conducting interviews, planting vegetables, organizing festive events, documenting traditions, conducting food preparation workshops and photography exhibitions, among others, constitute the “experiential art piece” proposed by the author.
Through this document, readers will be able to approach this proposal in which agriculture, history, coexistence, traditions, food, migration, economy and identity converge. All this seen from an artistic and social research perspective.
