Installation
NoMaNaDa responds to the call to review ethical aspects of urban transformation processes from a place between the urban and rural ways of life on the edges of Medellin; this is a typical environment in urban fringes of Latin American cities, usually the receivers of rural displacement. They talk about the "charcoal makers", who have worked for generations in the urban fringes to supply themselves and the peripheral areas of the city. With their installation located in the Museum, not far from those neighborhoods, in a moment that seems from another time, NoMaNaDa provides more questions than answers: "Who are they, which rural areas do they come from? Is their job nomadic, are they settled in small farmsteads? Is their practice ancestral or based on a harmonious relationship with the forest or on counter-productive methods with it? What is the mutual incidence between their practice and the future Metropolitan Green Corridor (Cinturón Verde Metropolitano)?"
