Abstract
In this visual ethnographic essay of the port city of Buenaventura, Colombia, I aim to explain how forms of community resistance emerge in accordance with close ties that the Afro-descendant population maintains with their territory and ethnic-racial identity, against the excluding economic development policies of the Colombian State during the presidency of Juan Manuel Santos (2014-2018), its paramilitary actions, and its historical abandonment of the Afro-descendant population, as factors that converge and constitute a direct attack against the exercise of territoriality of the black people from Buenaventura. Text, images, and photo captions can be read independently and collaboratively in a game of resistance that analyzes the de-territorialization and re-territorialization dynamics as antagonistic forces that dispute the territory.
