This article describes an artistic experimentation and research project that is an act of resistance in the face of hegemonic ways of producing knowledge. It involves a transdisciplinary research methodology of coordination between the arts and the social sciences for the study and production of meaning in urban space. This methodology aims to encompass, within an artistic practice, the study of urban space, as well as the act of inhabiting and transforming it in relation to the subjective-affective dimension of the citizen and cultural imaginaries. Walking through its routes, the city is situated and modified by the same technique that built it: The act of re-appropriating the city consists of physically and imaginatively re-founding it. Thus, the concept of Urban Psycho-Phagy specifically alludes to a participatory, embodied devouring and digesting, that becomes emotional and psycho-geographic.
