Over the past fifteen years, Socioplastics has evolved as a transdisciplinary system of situated practices, where art, architecture, and epistemology converge into a grammar of care, spatial ethics, and relational instability. This synthesis highlights four emblematic works that articulate the project’s core: ReTexHile, activated at the 2024 Lagos Biennial, reclaims textile waste as a postcolonial archive, weaving ecological violence and diasporic memory into a ritual of repair. YellowBag, in circulation since 2014, functions as a SituationalFixer—an affective carrier of seeds, sand, and presence—transforming displacement into a mode of embodied authorship. Both projects enact what Lloveras calls PresenceOverPossession, a refusal of the object in favor of migratory gesture. Meanwhile, TaxidermySeries reconceptualizes the city as a wounded body, using precise “MEAT” incisions to extract meaning from urban residue, proposing sculpture as surgical testimony. In CadaverExquisito, performed at Espacio Cruce (2020), the surrealist method is reactivated as collective spatial ritual, dissolving authorship through thermic presence and conversational choreography. Together, these four works map a socioplastic cartography of ephemeral infrastructure, political intimacy, and shared space-making—where the object gives way to relation, and ritual becomes a form of architectural thinking.
