The JUNTE Field Kit emphasizes a sensorial research approach— focusing particularly on listening, seeing and touching on the land. The kit includes a viewfinder, texture templates to be used for rubbings and a set of prompts for the participants.
This kit was prepared and used by JUNTE for a community-oriented somatic research on La Loma in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, in 2024 as part of community research phase for a future construction of an art and recreation center on this land.
-- LA CAMINATA: VER, TOCAR, ESCUCHAR Desdobla la hoja hacia el lado con el circulo en el centro de la pagina. Mientras caminas por el paisaje, sea consciente de sus tres sentidos: la vista, el tacto y el oido para guiar sus observaciones. Concentrate en tu visor para encontrar momentos escondidos. Siente la textura de las cosas y crea impresos que sean un patron visual de tu caminata. Escucha el paisaje y transforma lo que escuchas en trazos, palabras o formas.
THE WALK: SEEING, TOUCHING, LISTENING Unfold the sheet with the circle at the center of the page. While walking in the landscape, be conscious of your three senses: sight, touch, hearing, guiding your observations. Use your viewfinder to frame hidden moments. Feel the texture of things and create impressions as a visual guide of your walk. Listen to the landscape and transform what you hear into traces, words or forms.
