Santa Águeda y la transmisión oral en Sepúlveda is a site-specific video installation that uses the technique of videomapping to invite spectators to immerse themselves in the richness of Sepúlveda's oral tradition through the collective voice of women, weaving the town’s intangible heritage over time.
Through an audiovisual composition, this project falls within the genre of expanded documentary, an audiovisual approach that transcends traditional storytelling and employs new technologies to offer the audience an immersive experience. The work used the facade's architecture as an additional narrative element, interacting with its features in relation to the main theme, where the story unfolds about how the women of Sepúlveda have transmitted faith, dances, and the use of traditional attire across generations, centered around the celebration of Santa Águeda. This highlights the importance of preserving intangible heritage in the construction of the town’s cultural identity.
The work included the participation of various local residents, who, through their memories, wove together Sepúlveda’s identity around a religious and popular event that was exclusively for women. The project was supported by the Sepúlveda Town Hall and was also framed within the Pacto de Estado program.
