description Participatory social mapping contributes to understanding the referents constituted by the subjects and the meanings that constitute them, especially from their relationships with the territory. Thus, during the fieldwork focused on artisanal fishing activities and participatory workshops with students from the municipal school of Bahía Solano (Chocó, Colombia), whichincluded debates, map-making activities, and interviews, we seek to analyze the construction of the territory and the traditional Afro-Colombian territorialities in the Pacific based on their relationship with traditional practices and knowledge involved especially with fishing,which are often hidden or absent in official maps. It was noticed, then, that the visions and maps constructed by children and teenagers between 13 and 18 years of age from the fishingcommunity of Bahía Solano revealed the social and cultural awareness of these subjects, who perceive, to a great extent, many of the territorialities in which they are inserted and the relationship with traditional activities.

La cartografía social participativa contribuye con la comprensión de los referentes constituidos por los sujetos, así como los significados que los constituyen sobre todo desde sus relaciones con el territorio. Así, durante el trabajo de campo centrado en las actividades de pesca artesanal, a partir de talleres participativos con alumnos de la escuela municipal de Bahía Solano (Chocó, Colombia), con debates, elaboración de mapas y entrevistas, se busca analizar la construcción del territorio y las territorialidades tradicionales afrocolombianas en el Pacífico, a partir de su relación con prácticas y conocimientos tradicionales involucrados sobre todo con la pesca, a menudo ocultos en mapas oficiales. Se advirtió, entonces, que las visiones y los mapas construidos por niños y jóvenes, entre 13 y 18 años, de la comunidad pesquera de Bahía Solano revelaron la conciencia social y cultural de estos sujetos, pues en gran medida perciben muchas de las territorialidades en las que se insertan y la relación con las actividades tradicionales.
