Abstract
Esta investigación pretende interpretar la impronta del antropoceno y sus consecuencias, a través de la observación de dos elementos simbólicamente coloniales y su desmonumentalización. El desplazamiento y sustitución de la estatua de Colón en Buenos Aires por el monumento de Juana de Azurduy, y el ataque de un insecto -el Picudo Rojo- sobre las palmeras de la franja norte peninsular, plantadas como símbolo de éxito colonial desde finales del s XIX. Ambos contextos -monumental y biológico- son analizados desde la práctica artística como construcciones culturales, que retratan problemas ecológicos y político-sociales de memoria e identidad.
This investigation tries to interpret the imprint of the anthropocene and its consequences, through the observation of two symbolically colonial elements and their decriminalization. The displacement and replacement of the statue of Columbus in Buenos Aires by the monument of Juana de Azurduy, and the attack of an insect - the Red Palm Weevil - on the palm trees of the northern peninsula, planted as a symbol of colonial success since the late s XIX. Both contexts -monumental and biological- are analyzed from artistic practice as cultural constructions, which portray ecological and political-social problems of memory and identity.
