Prototipo comisarial en torno a los conceptos de territorio, identidad e industria: «Ací fem atovons» (Horta Nord, València)

Abstract

A globalized society based in homogenization; can lead a spatial undifferentiation; loss of place specificity and their singularity and particularity. Against this it is proposed a call for local through art. The territory concept is analyzed in this text in order to focalize its conception from a cultural dimension; looking for discover the territory power as a symbol that triggers the identity and social imaginary of its inhabitants. The purpose is to show the capacity of art as a tool of a simbolically reactivating of the territory through a curatorial proposal design for a specific spatial context: the Horta Nord region; whose landscape shows vestiges from local brick factories. This local industry; understood as a way through which people interact with their environment immediately; is shown as an element of distinction in contrast to a globalized world in pursuit of unification.
