EspañolEXHIBITION CONCEPTS
MAPS:
It is a simplified graphic representation of a territoriy. Initiated with the purpose of knowing the world, and supported firstly on philosophical theories, maps constitute today an important source of information and a great part of human activity is related in one way or another to cartograph, which in its widest representation includes the universe in general and the solar sistem, beyond the planet Earth. Maps today rely on technological tools to build geolocations.
Mapping tactics provide access to mental maps, psychosocial maps, and bio-political maps that go beyond borders to include etnographic, historical, statistical, etc. aspects.
INTERSECTIONALITY:
It is an analytical tool that recognises that systemic inequalities are shaped by the overlapping of different social factors such as gender, ethnicity and social class. The intersectional vision aims to overcome inequalities and stereotypes, and also confronts all kinds of barriers, such as war, migration, poverty and gender-based violence. Feminism has historically been dedicated to the struggle for equality. Technology and social networks construct our identities.
IMMUNITY:
In Biology and Medicine, it is a state of resistance, natural or acquired, that certain individuals or species possess against certain pathogenic actions of micro-organisms or foreign substances.
It is also the quality of being immune, defined as being exempt from certain offices, charges, burdens or penalties. It is synonymous with invulnerable.
Immunity would be the process or state that fights diseases in order to overcome them. Immunity can be collective or individual. Globalisation creates unprotected communities lacking social immunity due to pandemics, wars and social inequalities.
PLANET:
By antonomasia, it refers to the Earth, and is defined as a celestial body without its own light that revolves in an elliptical orbit around a star, particularly those that revolve around the Sun. Within the planet we find nature, the whole of everything that exists and which is determined and harmonised in its own laws, and, on the other hand, ecosystems, which are communities of living beings whose vital processes are related to each other and develop according to the physical factors of the same environment.
Also within this field we can work with ecologism, which is defined as a doctrine that advocates the defence of nature and the preservation of the environment, where the urban begins to defend its orchards, beaches and natural ecosystems. Lately, the ecofeminist movement has been characterised by the vindication of the natural ecosystem with collectives such as Mothers for the Climate, etc.
NETWORKS:
It deals with the way we communicate through the coordinated and reciprocal interaction of senders and receivers through the places we inhabit. The different perspectives and media that give rise to a social system of values and norms that regulate the pre-established conventions and discourses of power in the city, the neighbourhood or the metaverse. The community is a set of people who somehow come together in networks in person or online to defend common interests. Associations and social networks can have a transformative power by working in a collective and participatory way. New technologies and the internet allow the creation of nodes, which are non-hierarchical networks.
CONSUMPTION:
Capitalist society encourages consumption without real need through miseducation that should be reversed. It encourages the pursuit of external material things to satisfy created needs, which leads to addictive behaviours (compulsive shopping; compulsive use of social networks; video games; compulsive gambling; workaholism) and substance use (addiction to legal and illegal substances, drugs and medicines). When it benefits, it is called consumption and when it is a problem, it is called a disease. The city is the maximum exponent of new and old addictions, as its idiosyncrasy promotes the agglomeration of people, differences and large areas of programmed leisure.
