Among drawings, photographs, documents, and video, Códices bears witness to over 7 years of fieldwork in various rural areas of Colombia by the artist Marcos Ávila-Forero in collaboration with researchers and social organizations that accompany peasant communities in their struggles for land and their processes of social empowerment.

Thus, this project brings together a series of materials that seek to determine the practical foundations of the interrelationship between agrarian production and social development of peasant communities, based on the materialist analysis developed by the same peasant movements from their experiences: "Produce to resist!".

Inspired by critical pedagogy, the formal structure of the work revisits various techniques, from the codices of colonial chroniclers - descriptive methods provided with coded graphic elements - to muralism, passing through conceptual maps and literacy booklets, in which we can see how Marcos Ávila Forero tries to use art as a tool for work, research, and application in the territories.


Entre dibujos, fotografías, documentos y video, Códices da testimonio de más de 7 años de trabajo de campo en diversas zonas rurales de Colombia del artista Marcos Ávila-Forero en colaboración con investigadores y organizaciones sociales, que acompañan a comunidades campesinas en sus luchas por la tierra y sus procesos de empoderamiento social.

Así, este proyecto reagrupa una serie de materiales que buscan determinar las bases prácticas de la interrelación entre producción agraria y desarrollo social del campesinado, basándose en el análisis materialista desarrollado por los mismos movimientos campesinos desde sus experiencias: “Producir para resistir!”.

Inspirándose de la pedagogía critica, la estructura formal de la obra revisita varias técnicas, desde los códices de los cronistas coloniales –métodos descriptivos provistos de elementos gráficos codificados– hasta el muralismo, pasando por los mapas conceptuales y las cartillas de alfabetización, en la que podemos ver como Marcos Ávila Forero trata de utilizar el arte como una herramienta de trabajo, investigativa y con aplicación en los territorios.
