DESCRIPTION

The Politics of Reading, Writing and Orality (LEO) in Bogotá, aims to strengthen the ties between citizens and their environment, promoting equitable access to culture through reading, writing and orality. By means of the word, in all its forms, as a tool of expression and communication, aims to create a space where they engage individual and collective experiences, inviting to read, write, and converse in a different way. Thus contribute to the construction of a citizenship more participatory, critical and creative, in turn, support the social and cultural development of Bogotá.

In this context, the flag of the Mayor of Bogotá, in the FILBO 2025: LEO, I feel Bogotá was presented as a proposal for exploring the senses of words in the city. Space that puts in evidence and in the alternative, different ways of integrating the word, the body and the land, our city, by means of the senses as a tool to understand, express and communicate. The participation of the visitors on the tour invites us to reflect on different perspectives in each of the experiences of the pavilion, which in turn enrich the cultural identity in this city, in which the word –both written and spoken– is converted into an engine of development in an inclusive space that is able to transform realities, and open new doors to knowledge and creativity.

We want to understand what it means to read with the whole body. We want to feel how the body expresses no talking. These questions will lead us to various languages and forms of writing: the braille, sign language colombian, narratives textile, cards. We also take you to the city, to imagine it as a great body that all the time you are communicating, we are talking and is rewriting. We will also see how the city connects us and we will stop to gaze at an item of great importance to Bogota: the metro. Within this space you will find conversations and experiences, readings, songs, lights and shadows. There will be spaces for listening, and spaces for contemplating.

As well as the words they are constituted by letters, we imagined an urban planning composed of small fragments that are amplified and transformed into tools for the experimentation of the senses. These elements operate at different scales: at times like benches, sometimes as games, objects or shadows. The set revolves around a few central pieces hook on a place for contemplation, rest and reading, while the enclosures side are scenarios for exploration gradual perception of the body. The sum of parts is a complete experience, evoking surprise, theatre and pedagogy with a vision of intergenerational that it is equally significant to citizens of any age.
