“La Ruina as a concept for a visual narrative in a transmedia world. Perspectives of Venezuelan immigrants in the city of Manizales”,

This work is part of the research-creation project “The Ruin as a concept for a visual narrative in a transmedia world. Views of Venezuelan immigrants in the city of Manizales”, developed by a group of researchers from the University of Manizales and the University of Caldas. The exploration of the concept of Ruin -understood as ways of inhabiting, transiting and staying within a territory- was carried out based on field work with a group of Venezuelans living in Manizales, who have arrived in the city due to the social, political and economic conditions of their country, and that from their condition they have established themselves as inhabitants of a new territory, recognizing and adapting to new social and cultural dynamics. His experience contributed to the creation of an aesthetic proposal that symbolically restores his construction as a migrant. Transmedia narratives arise as a response to break the traditional schemes of creative processes, and that is why the approach of this work generates a proposal that includes creations in different supports: photographic, fixed, audiovisual, sound and digital.
