CENTRO DE ARTES Y LETRAS MISAK MISAK : Como nodo nexo en la integración territorial y cultural en el contexto urbano Fontibón – Bogotá

Abstract

Colombia, a multicultural and multilingual country, is recognized for these characteristics worldwide; Such an attribute is the result of a set of phenomena that, in a geographical and cultural way, have progressively modified the ways of living and understanding the world. At present, understanding the rise of new technologies and the deterioration that has occurred in identity, it is imperative to carry out an analysis against the importance of indigenous cultures in terms of preserving national identity, sustainability, and environmental care, aspects that in this historical moment have been deteriorated and in turn need attention to generate new alternatives at an integral level. The present research project focuses on proposing an Arts and Letters Center equipment that represents the worldview of the Misak indigenous community, currently located in the urban context of Fontibón-Bogotá; through this it is intended to develop a Partial Plan that links the Misak with their current urban context, so as to strengthen their own culture and also provide different urban alternatives to environmental care, renewing and contributing to urban implantations that They exist today. Throughout the history of Colombia there have been a variety of economic, political, social and cultural processes that have influenced the development of the country; specifically with regard to the Colombian indigenous communities, it can be evidenced that due to the armed conflict, the dispossession of the lands for political, economic-economic interests and the displacement of the indigenous community towards urban contexts, a clash with their culture has been generated, causing acculturation and identity loss of the Misak, a community that: (…) He has lived directly in the Colombian armed conflict. As a people, they have had to endure within their territory, the transit, occupation and fighting of legal (public force) and illegal armed groups (the M-19, the FARC and paramilitary groups), the signaling of leaders, kidnappings, murders of leaders (Acosta, 2016, p. 19). Taking into account the aforementioned, what is sought through the exploration and inquiry of the traditional customs of the Misak population, is to implement an urban space that integrates the traditional life of the indigenous with the urban life of the city, based on urban elements -architectural related to its native space, its environmental objectives, its worldview, meanings and significance of its culture, including the notion of sustainability, integrating environmental and functional factors to the structure of the city and thus strengthening the periphery of Fontibón taking into account the need to preserve indigenous legacies.
