Centro de desarrollo étnico y cultural: equipamiento para la apropiación étnica

Abstract

In the town of Bosa, some problems arise due to the forced displacement of different ethnic communities, from their territories. Thanks to this, it is possible to determine that segregation is a fundamental factor in establishing why space is not available for communities. By setting up a center for ethnic and cultural development, we intend to establish new social and cultural dynamics that give a guarantee of benefit for the population with the activities that are generated. The project is established as a space capable of linking the three ethnic communities that inhabit the sector, in order to strengthen natural and ancestral connections, making part of the intangible heritage of the city. Allowing the adaptability of spaces with various services and cultural character in a single project, recognizing several of the problems of the area and benefiting in general the entire community of Bosa. This is done from an investigation that involves different variables, determining: a) The most suitable place to perform the intervention; b) An analysis and diagnosis of the place; and c) The understanding and exploration of affected populations, where their culture, traditions, and legacy are recognized. Thus, after a process of project development, it is possible to understand that the spaces destined to implement a center of ethnic and cultural development are key for the organization of the communities to which the project is directed, benefiting symbiotically from community participation, fostering integration and care for the environment and the territory.
