Intangible cultural heritage in informal neighborhoods of the town of San Cristóbal in Bogotá – Colombia

Abstract

This research categorizes artistic practices as patrimonial (of an immaterial nature) in the town of San Cristóbal in Bogotá, Colombia. The cultural dynamics within neighborhoods, mostly of an informal nature, combine knowledge and traditions of various regions of the country, due to the migration of many of its inhabitants to the capital. This process of cultural miscegenation, between regional, popular and urban traditions creates new festive territories with local identities and ancestral knowledge in celebrations and festivities dedicated to the life and memories of new urban generations, as an educational communication strategy, for the protection of heritage intangible cultural.
