Centro social de memoria histórica: Reparación y resignificación para las víctimas del conflicto armado en el territorio de El Salado

Abstract

The Colombian conflict caused for more than 50 years innumerable problems in the national territory, which left populations in a vulnerable situation and with different social problems. After the consolidation of the Peace Accords in 2016, carried out by Juan Manuel Santos in Havana, the levels of violence product of the war in the country decreased, however, each individual and population affected by this event suffered trauma at the level psychosocial that prevent the proper development of their life in community. This is the case of the El Salado district (El Carmen de Bolívar), hit by two of the most significant massacres that the nation has witnessed, which completely disintegrated its social tissue due to terror and the strong stigmatization that this entailed, generating displacement of its entire population and turning said territory into a ghost town for two years, after which a small part of the inhabitants decided to return without many guarantees and with the impotence of reliving the events previously witnessed when walking the streets of their town. Therefore, and reaching the objective of this research, it is proposed to make use of the resilience of the saladeros to expose the truth of what happened through a Historical Memory Center, which dignifies the victims in front of the local and national community, while exhorting viewers to reject all kinds of violence and support the preservation of peace.
