Narraciones de Resiliencia

Abstract

This undergraduate project focuses on the systematization of the resilience experience of a group of individuals from the Altos de Cazucá community in the municipality of Soacha, Cundinamarca. The outcome of this project is a printed editorial product (an illustrated book). The participants in the project are a group of 15 adult women from different parts of the country who are involved in activities led by the Revivir Siglo XXI Foundation. These women have faced instances of violence and victimizing situations within the context of the internal armed conflict and other origins. Through the graphic design product, the aim was to contribute to the development of the resilience narrative of the participating women in order to overcome victimizing events and to promote the dissemination and understanding of their stories to different audiences.

The illustrated book is the result of a co-creation process with the participating women, who contributed to the narrative development and graphic design. The concept of experimental graphics was employed, utilizing various design elements, including editorial design, typography in different compositions interacting with illustrations that were created using mixed techniques.
