“Tierra de Matronas”.

Abstract

"Tierra de Matronas" is a research project created by developing the art. It studies the Matrona's women population who are identified by the performance of countryside work or home care labors which many times is their only source of income, hence, they become an essential part of the family core and in some cases, of their community. Unfortunately for them, the efforts and activities they do are little recognized and not paid for. Therefore it is correct to say that their true value has not been exalted yet with the merit it deserves. Thus, the present project developed the metaphorization through the bi-dimensional image of care work using artistic practices of Matrona's women in Chitagá, Norte de Santander, being this possible through an organization, classification, and previous practices of audiovisual records, collected by fieldwork. Essentially the results of this research, were the implementation of 12 graphic illustrations as processes of shared experiences of Tierra de Matronas, inviting all bystanders to think beyond the Matrona and their care work and practices, as well as their environment. Reflecting their real value and impact on society
