Both on an artistic and academic level, an attempt has been made to show the virtuosity of the author through a narrator who does not doubt, who does not rectify, who is not wrong. A neutral subject who knows everything.

Thus, when walking through a museum we come across perfectly finished works in which it is difficult to know what the author was thinking about when making them; When we go to a classroom, the teachers give a master class in which the facts are presented without deciphering who has discovered them, how they have done it or what they have experienced in the process; and when we see a poster we find objects, explanations and narrations but nothing about who has done it.

The traditional objective has been to create closed works without cracks.

But just as time makes the layers of the paintings transparent and regrets are visible, subjects are appearing that are constructed through their work, while they speak, educate or create. This has led several authors - such as Isabel Cadenas Cañón in her book The Poetics of Absence (2019) - to consider other ways of narrating. Both from art and from academic research, formats such as autoethnography are gaining more and more force. The idea is that the speaking subject no longer acts as a neutral spectator who contemplates and registers his object of investigation; rather, he is a subject who is affected by what he is talking about. There is no longer a place for a majestic plural. There is no objective voice. He is a subject who speaks from the self, who doubts, which is being built while articulating his research. It shows that writing and creation is full of ups and downs, changes of route, paths that do not follow a straight path. The investigations cease to be closed works and become a dialogue; a horizontal dialogue that the viewer can also be part of.

In our proposal, we intend to build a scientific poster in which we present ourselves as storytellers-creators without using the majestic plural —typical of academic works— and reflecting on how a collaborative work can be made in which each of the parties maintains its subjectivity as an author.

If the scientific poster has among its main objectives to reflect the processes of an investigation, we want to expose how is our process of construction of the poster itself; reflecting in it the conversations that we have carried out to build it, our doubts and making the assembly explicit.
