IP32. Carretear lo Popular

Cantabria; La Ortiga Collective Residency. Reinosa
This project proposes deconstructing the symbol of "A cart," considered an unmovable tradition, to explore its contemporary value beyond a spectacular or romantic revision. "The cart" has historically been an element of identity reaffirmation, but the challenge is to transform it into a constituent element of reality, not just an identity piece. The goal is to understand how this symbol can remain a living expression, opening new, improbable connections between "self" and "other," asserting social bonds, and exploring its transformative capacity.
As M. Garcés says: "Our main problem is, then, redefining the meanings of emancipation and its relationship with the knowledge of our time... when the humanities lose the link with this issue, they become mere knowledge of texts about texts and die" (García, 2017).
