The proposals that make up the exhibition Ciudad Completa | La Palomera: reconocimiento y celebración (Hacienda La Trinidad Parque Cultural) are the result of a multiplicity of individual and collective exercises, deployed as creative actions—experiences conceived to transcend the boundaries that make it difficult to imagine and experience the city as a diverse and complex fabric, open to the forces of the other, always yet to come; and of the other, the inhabitant who, together with us, inhabits and shapes it. A city for encounter, active consensus, learning, and transformation.
The Integración en proceso Caracas program articulated, over several months, various creative experiences conceived from the La Palomera neighborhood as a space for learning, participation, and dialogue. These actions, promoted through artistic practices, managed to weave a counterpoint to tradition by intersecting with popular manifestations. We were interested in how the experience of celebration could become a path for the unfolding of a dynamic totality that simultaneously brings together differences. Celebrating the Cruz de Mayo from La Palomera represented an opportunity to promote community participation as a strategy to (in)visibilize and problematize the physical and mental borders that deny diversity.
