The social imaginary of the conquest of Latin America is made up of political, religious and military situations with illuminated historical figures on pedestals and paintings. Those circumstances are useful to build stories that hide the complexity of this process. Only in a few records it is possible to see the reality implied in the large movements of people and the supplies required to dominate the continent. In her work, Workshop office of reconstruction of migratory flows, María Buenaventura uses the story of a “re- creative researcher” responsible for designing the logistics of the conquest to build a very different imaginary of heroism, to understand the dimensions of a war machine and the way the conquered ones perceive the thousands of animals and men involved as well as the devastation resulting from these campaigns.
