Poems and dishes-washing songs about territorial legislation and urban planning from an ecofeminist perspective.

Through different poetic texts that incorporate flamenco lyrics such as bulerías from Lebrija by Antonia Pozo, Colombianas by Enrique Morente or tango songs by Niña de los Peines, the architect and artist Isabel Martín Ruiz will guide us through various documents of state autonomous legislation in matters of territorial planning and urban planning. It will be about an interpretation of the impact that these laws have on the bodies that inhabit the territories, and that we experience one way of living (and not another) under those legislative frameworks.

Through words and singing, Martín Ruiz suggests a way of inhabiting, from emotion, the apparently distant and undoubtedly very technical dimension of urban-territorial issues that imply that our daily life and the environments we inhabit are more or less less livable, more or less healthy, more or less cared for. Poetry and singing are therefore proposed as tools to translate into emotions this technical, complex and distant thing that has such an impact on our bodies.

The author defines her poetic texts as lyrics, intentionally referring to the colloquial way of calling flamenco songs, and also as a way of naming texts that deal with the everyday, the personal and the sphere of life traditionally attributed to the role of women in society. Give value and voice to naming things from places that are not considered generators of discourse or knowledge.

The songs about washing the dishes are those rescued from Andalusian women and incorporated into the poems as a political gesture of vindication that there is also valid and valuable knowledge in the margins. The songs about washing the dishes try to give value to that everyday joy and tenderness that are revolutionary in a system that is sometimes so violent, misogynistic, racist, and classist.
