Reconciliación y convivencia en las víctimas de Minas Antipersonal en Florencia, Caquetá: Reconstrucción y aprendizajes de una experiencia vivida.

Abstract

With the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Colombian society has initiated a complex post-conflict process. There, ex-combatants, victims, members of the Public Force and civil society have the challenge of learning to live together and reconcile with those who in the past were victimizers. With this panorama, different reconciliation initiatives, at regional and national level, have begun to develop thanks to international cooperation agencies and non-governmental organizations, who have reached the territories most affected by the armed conflict, to make a contribution to the construction of the Peace in Colombia In 2018, a small group of victims of Landmines in Caquetá, belonging to the civilian population, ex-combatants of the FARC and members of the Public Force, participated in an emotional process of reconciliation, which managed to strengthen ties of coexistence in these populations, considered opposed in the past, by the logic of war. Through art and corporality, the participants managed to elaborate their memories and life stories and, in turn, understood otherness to finally give way to reconciliation. This degree work, in the modality of systematization of experiences, revives the process of the 51 people who participated in the project "Strengthening reconciliation and coexistence through a museographic exhibition on antipersonnel mines in Florence" developed by Prolongar Foundation, from the observations made as a project assistant and as a Social Communication intern in that organization.
