YOU ARE HERE, PARTICIPATORY EXERCISES OF PERCEPTION, REPRESENTATION AND REFLECTION TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF PUERTO VALLARTA

Abstract

The article describes the work done by the research team, Design and Innovation of the Instituto Tecnológico Mario Molina, Unidad Académica de Puerto Vallarta, through the projects that were presented in the three editions of the exhibition "You are here" made over the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, in the Office of Cultural Projects OPC in the city of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Mexico. The general objective of the three participations was to raise, through a series of pieces of representation, exercises of perception and reflection around the city of Puerto Vallarta, and the challenges that the participative construction of a sustainable tourism city means. From a critical perspective, the conceptual axes were studied as: tourism territory, identity, segregation, human cartography, the relationship between the landscape and the development of new centralities. The proposal describes how a new space of approach between the academy, the artists and the community has been generated from the formats of artistic exhibition to think and generate new projects that allow to offer new solutions to the development and becoming of a tourist city.
