Ítem De sapo a príncipe: reconfiguración de aspecto e identidad(Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas) Montaño Sánchez, André Julián Leonardo; Shambo Gonzalez, Ferney; Shambo Gonzalez, Ferney [0009-0006-0191-2097]From Frog to Prince uses the children's story of the frog that turns into a prince after being kissed as an allegory to question how, among Bogotá's gay population, the pursuit of ideals of beauty can become a cycle of dissatisfaction, obsession, and body modification. This work draws on extreme beauty practices that, when internalized, distort perception and identity.Ítem Colección Remanente(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Perea Alvis, Andrés Felipe; Valderrama, DilmaFelipe Perea Cerámica is an entrepreneurial project that merges art, artisanal technique, and design through the creation of unique ceramic pieces. Its first collection, Remanente, is inspired by bird nests as symbols of shelter, memory, and transformation. The project blends the craft of ceramics with a contemporary approach, resulting in two lines of pieces: the Elemental Line, focused on everyday use, and the Ornamental Functional Line, which explores more expressive forms. Its production is carried out with a sustainable commitment, aiming to reduce environmental impact. Beyond shaping each piece, this project also shapes a way of inhabiting art through entrepreneurship. It explores the role of the artist as both creator and manager of their own craft, balancing aesthetic sensitivity with the construction of a personal path in the creative and commercial fields.Ítem Develando la memoria: el archivo como gesto cultural(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Mora Nieto, Laura Catalina; Vanegas Flórez, Guillermo; Vanegas Flórez, Guillermo [0000-0002-9675-1292]La Candelaria is a town weld known for its strong cultural focus and considered the heart of Bogotá9s Historic Center. It is currently made up of seven neighborhoods, some of which belong to the central zone and others4Egipto, Belén, Santa Bárbara, and part of the administrative center4 are located on the outskirts. The latter stand out for their historical richness and for being territories of resistance against gentrification processes that threaten their identity. In this context, the initiative to create a community archive emerged to compile and preserve the histories, memories, and sociocultural practices that have shaped the history of these neighborhoods. The objective is to make visible the collective expressions that strengthen the social fabric, promoting recognition of local dynamics and the portection.Ítem Entre ranchitos y grietas: una mirada a la ausencia campesina(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Villarreal Ruiz, Maria Rosario; Rivas Niño, Carlos Fernando"BETWEEN LITTLE HUTS AND CRACKS: A reflection on rural absence" is a visual arts project that explores the abandonment of the Boyacá countryside through family memory and the traditional ranchitos de bareque—mud and wood houses now nearly extinct. Rooted in a personal experience of migration, the work reflects on the loss of ancestral knowledge, customs, and rural identity, resignifying materials such as clay, wood, and straw in paintings and installations. The proposal seeks to reconnect with peasant identity, highlight its symbolic value, and create a dialogue between art, memory, and territory, relating conceptually to movements such as Arte Povera and Material Expressionism.Ítem Florecer del silencio(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Martinez Cervantes, Miguel Angel; Rincon Pachon , Favio Humberto; García Barreto, Germán Alberto (Catalogador)“Flourishing of Silence” is a sculptural and ceramic project that explores silence as a space of inner transformation and creative gesture. Through modeling, firing, and dialogue with fire, the artworks emerge as symbolic bodies that reveal both the fragility and resilience of being. The process combines technical research—in clays, glazes, and experimental kilns—with a poetic inquiry into rebirth, containment, and waiting. Each sculpture becomes a metaphor for the inner journey that turns matter into language and silence into visible form.Ítem En_foco(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Ramírez Márquez, David; Alfaro E, ÁngelThis research-creation project explores comics as an artistic and narrative language through the development of the character "Focus Man." Using theoretical, autobiographical, and visual references, it investigates comics as an expressive medium that articulates image, word, and sequence to represent personal experiences. The process is documented through field notes, sketches, and graphic explorations, culminating in an installation titled "in_focus," composed of five artist's books and an altered work table. The project reflects on comics as a strategy for artistic creation and a vehicle for self-representation, reaffirming its potential as a contemporary form of visual thought.Ítem Ultraprocesados como objeto de deseo: imágenes que hacen mi sujeto(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Bautista Lasso, Daniela; Ordóñez Robayo, Camilo Andrés; Ordóñez Robayo, Camilo Andrés [0000-0002-0293-3045]This project explores how visuality influences my taste for ultra-processed foods. From an experiential perspective, I investigate how these products are integrated into my diet and how visual devices shape the acquisition of taste for them. A study of the representation of food in art history reveals the evolution of our symbolic and cultural relationship with nourishment. Through a series of self-portraits, the project reflects on how these foods contribute to the construction of contemporary subjectivity, inviting the viewer to consider their role as a consumer and the influence of these products on identity.Ítem Guardianas(Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas) Piedrahita Rodríguez , Lina Fernanda; Alfaro, Angel; Identificador ORCIDFairy tales have haunted us since ancient times and, whether true or not, I would love to show a little of my perceptions of the world through a narrative that is born from the genuineness of being. Growing up and living in the countryside gave me a wonderful sensitivity to nature, a sensitivity that gives color and meaning to my life.For the degree project I propose the creation of a book - installed art, which compiles various mystical and magical adventures, which are a metaphor for my childhood and other life situations that affect me, such as growing up. This art book is called “Guardians” and seeks to connect with other sensitive worlds, starting from the stage of childhood and showing a narrative from the poetic and fantasy, with a symbolic background from the genuine and metaphorical.Ítem Un día todo eso fue monte(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Cristancho Prieto, Camila; Sandoval Quimbayo, Sebastián; Sandoval Quimbayo Sebastián [0000-0002-1287-7542]"One day, all that was green" emerges from the concern I feel about the rapid urbanization that has taken place in recent years in La Calera, Cundinamarca, and how it has affected the natural ecosystems there. I observed that the construction of apartment towers, condominiums, schools, and houses has increased rapidly, sometimes negatively impacting water sources, vegetation cover, and the existence of different species of fauna that also live there. I perceived that in the Calera mountains, the shades of green characteristic of rural areas have gradually displaced, replaced by the grays of cement and asphalt, or by the reds and oranges typical of urban brick buildings. This thesis materialized through an audiovisual piece that explores the documentary, the poetic, and the experimental. It was projected on an installation of polyshadows and scaffolding.Ítem La pájara errante: plataforma de circulación y divulgación de las prácticas del grabado(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Parra Sánchez, Ingrid Vanessa; Alfaro, AngelThis undergraduate thesis project in Visual Arts arises from the need to democratize access to art and culture in Bogotá, specifically in the field of engraving. Through the creation of a traveling engraving workshop, it seeks to break down the barriers to accessing this artistic discipline, promoting citizen participation and the formation of new audiences. The research is framed within John Dewey’s theory of art as experience, which advocates for integrating art into everyday life. As Dewey himself states: “If wors of art were placed directly in a human context of popular esteem, they would have a far wider appeal than they obtain under the domination of theories that place art on a pedestal.” Following this line of thought, this project seeks to bring engraving to public spaces to interact with the community and, through participatory aesthetic experiences, train new audiences. Marketing becomes a key tool to amplify the reach of these practices and connect with audiences in the digital age.Ítem El viaje de la oruga: transformación alquímica de la materia(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Alvis López, Valentina; Gomez, Vicenta VictoriaThis research-creation project, entitled El viaje de la oruga: transformación alquímica de la materia (The Caterpillar's Journey: Alchemical Transformation of Matter), stems from an interest in exploring matter through the formulation of ceramic glazes and alternative firing techniques. This interest in exploration seeks to highlight the processes of transformation present in ceramics, linked to alchemy, through the interplay of colors, textures, and volumes that matter offers in its transformation. This research seeks to connect alchemy from a technical approach with a spiritual perspective, which is related to the production of plastic art, individual and collective practices. This is done from an experimental and experiential perspective through practical laboratories. The purpose of this project is to reflect on ceramic transformation through experimentation with raw materials, focusing on the physical change that occurs in this type of finish, which gives rise to aesthetic and spiritual experiences. This process of “transmutation” of matter is associated with the process of “metamorphosis” of the caterpillar, which, like ceramics, goes through different stages of transformation: from the egg as the initial stage to becoming a butterfly. In this way, a symbolic parallel is established with ceramics and its physical changes throughout the process. The alchemical transformation from clay to ceramics becomes a symbolic equivalent of the transition from caterpillar to butterfly. The project thus seeks to account for the cycles of transformation of matter.Ítem Me imagino en una casita que es así y así(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Burgos Moreno, Danna Valentina; Ordoñez Robayo, Andres Camilo; Ordoñez Robayo Andres Camilo [0000-0002-0293-3045]Between memories and archives, this work explores the housing imaginaries of middle-class Colombian women. Drawing from banking and real estate advertising from 1990–2010, family memory, and visual critique, it reveals how the home is built not only with bricks, but also with desires, imaginaries, and promises. It combines visual analysis, writing, and photographic archives to show how gender, economy, and image shape the idea of dwelling —and of imagining a little house like this and that.Ítem Riiing Print Click ¡AUCH!(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) De la Cruz Letrado, Felipe Antonio; Wiesner Correa, Laura CarolinaTelevision, the landline telephone, the first printed directories, the computer, the advent of the internet, the smartphone, and fanzines delineate a material and affective cartography that intertwines the history of communication media in Bogotá with the social and visual imaginaries that shape urban life. The project gathers audiovisual fragments from the Bogotá archives, the internet, and Publicar’s Yellow Pages, reconfiguring them through the creation and circulation of a fanzine. This publication operates as both document and gesture, offering a reflection on data collection, the corporeal traces of everyday labor, and the evolving devices through which Bogotá’s inhabitants communicate and construct shared narratives.Ítem Retorno al dibujo: de la elegía al nóstos(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Díaz Rivera, María Camila; León Rodríguez, RicardoThis project stems from a personal concern regarding the distance I experienced from the practice of drawing during my university studies. In response to this absence, I propose a return to drawing through an inquiry into how the practice is taught in academic settings. This reflection focuses on two dimensions that shape drawing classes: the curricular framework, represented graphically through diagrams, and the Palacio de la Merced as a physical space, approached from an architectural design perspective. Using these conceptual and graphic tools, a methodological strategy was developed based on a questionnaire that gathers students’ perceptions of their academic, spatial, and emotional experiences in class. The information collected is then translated into a graphic proposal that serves both as evidence of my research process and as a personal reconciliation with drawing.Ítem Papelcortante(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Rubio López , Ana; Nieto González , Nicole; Garavito López, ElizabethPapelcortante emerges as a creative venture that integrates the history and technique of artistic collage with a sustainable business model and a firm social commitment. Our proposal is structured along two lines: on the one hand, a wide range of in-person analog collage workshops, designed to reach all audiences (from those who have never picked up scissors to artists searching for new languages) through experiential teaching, where the exploration of materials, conceptual design, manual execution, and aesthetic reflection are intertwined in each session; and, on the other, the production and sale of original graphic pieces distributed at self-organized and independent fairs, as well as on social media, showcasing the potential of collage as a poetic and visual practice. The first section of the document reviews the origins of collage in the 20th-century avant-garde and its evolution to contemporary practices, establishing the conceptual and aesthetic foundation of our workshops. The second chapter details the teaching methodology: a phased approach that begins with the investigation of textures and media, progresses toward the construction of unique compositions, and culminates in a space for critical exchange about results and processes, always emphasizing the artistic dimension, the sensorial experience, and the value of craftsmanship. The business plan defines the key elements of the project: cost structuring, promotional strategies at independent fairs, partnerships with local collectives, and comprehensive self-management. Papelcortante positions itself as a project that celebrates the aesthetics of collage, generates transformative experiences, and demonstrates that analog creation can simultaneously be a viable act of cultural entrepreneurship committed to its community.Ítem Érase una vez un mundo simbólico: la literatura infantil ilustrada como herramienta de aprendizaje y autorreconocimiento(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Castellanos Acosta, Nidia Alejandra; Rivas Niño, Carlos FernandoThis degree project investigates and analyzes the role of illustrated children's literature as a tool in processes of recognition of personal identity and environment during childhood. In addition to this objective, it seeks to understand how relating to visual representations provided by illustrated children's literature in the classroom allows expanding the content and means of representation used by children, favoring their learning and plastic creation processes. Therefore, the realization of this project also includes the execution of practical workshops that make use of visual resources typical of illustrated children's literature as a strategy to facilitate the development of these identity and environment recognition processes in childhood. The use of these visual resources provides tools that allow a space where children can approach images as an element that enhances their communication, learning, and expression capacities through plastic creation.Ítem Presíncope. Síntomas de cuerpos en deterioro(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Ramírez Matiz, Gabriela; Cáceres Jaramillo, Juan Fernando; Cáceres Jaramillo Juan Fernando [0000-0002-9971-1704]Through the project Presyncope: Syntoms of decaying bodies I'm looking to analyze from my personal perspective, the situation of accessibility in the main building of the Faculty in which I study, the Palacio de La Merced, seeing the accessibility, not only from an archetectonic point of view, but also, from the existing (or not) protocols of the university's administration and from the treatment of students, teachers and others that form the university's body, to people with disabilities and chronic illnesses. By using visual languages, such as performance and video, I explore the faculty building as another sick body, so I plan to examine and to diagnose it, with the purpose of showing the failings that it has and how they affect me and other people that go there. The use of the performance in this project is to show the relations that exist between non normative bodies and time and space, using as a case of study, the situation that happens inside the Faculty.Ítem Registro y simulacro(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) López Rodelo, Nelson Eduardo; Alfaro Echevarría, ÁngelThis text explores the evolution of the book as a form of artistic expression, highlighting how, since the beginning of the 20th century, many artists have transformed the book into a work of art in itself, beyond its traditional function. It emphasizes that artist's books and related works cease to be simple supports for texts and illustrations to become unique pieces that experiment with materials, shapes, textures, and spaces, questioning the boundaries between art and object. The work "Record and Simulacra" is defined as the representation of a thought in images where paper and other materials are used to capture, manipulate, and represent everyday objects, such as shoes, in a kind of simulation that invites reflection on reality, memory, and identity. The text mentions the influence of thinkers such as Baudrillard, who speaks of simulacrum as a way of representing reality in an artificial but meaningful way. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of paper in history and artistic creation, its capacity to record and transform ideas, and its role in the preservation of cultural memory. Examples are analyzed from artists such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Duchamp, and Warhol, who have used books and everyday objects to explore new forms of expression. Finally, the text concludes that these works challenge the traditional perception of the book and the art object, proposing a vision in which art is constructed from the reinterpretation, simulation, and accumulation of images and objects, creating a profound dialogue between human beings, their objects, and their cultural memory.Ítem La ciudad del eterno otoño(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Flórez Torres, Estefanía; Alfaro, ÁngelMy project is an invitation to rethink Bogotá as a naturally aesthetic space. A space where we, its inhabitants, despite the chaos, pollution, insecurity, and the routine and hectic pace of our days, can contemplate and enjoy the beauty of the flora, opening our eyes to the magnificence of the nature of Colombia's beautiful capital. I intend to rescue forgotten natural elements. I seek to highlight the beauty of nature by showing that the trees that inhabit the city have a wider range of colors than just shades of green and brown. I am interested in rescuing the autumnal tones of the deciduous trees of Bogotá, creating aesthetic-plastic compositions in public spaces with their leaves, playing with gradients and making the intangible tangible. Similarly, I will modify a space in the Odeón gallery to allow the viewer to pause for a few moments and allow the shapes and colors, and even the smells, temperature, and sounds, to affect their senses, maximizing their task of entering into the act of contemplation, to go beyond looking, smelling, tasting, that is, to allow them to observe, sniff, or savor what extends to their senses.Ítem Relatos y reflexiones de una posible víctima(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Alvarado Montenegro, Julián Andrés;Este documento relata el proceso y la experiencia de ser parte de "Posibles Víctimas" (PV), evidenciando un cambio en el autor como artista y ser humano. El texto describe la vida secreta del autor, sus reflexiones, anécdotas, vivencias y pensamientos, revelando la razón de su ser como bailarín. La temática principal de "Posibles Víctimas" era el miedo, transmitido a través de las experiencias de 16 bailarines que compartían sus secretos ante el público. El documento también explora la metodología de trabajo rigurosa y estricta enmarcada en lo académico durante el montaje de la obra, destacando la confrontación con las exigencias de la escena profesional de la danza y la importancia de la escucha grupal, la comunicación, la interdisciplinariedad y el compromiso con el desarrollo de la danza. Además, el texto aborda temas como el travestismo, la intimidad, los miedos y la valentía, invitando a la exploración personal y a la confrontación de los propios temores. Se menciona un ejercicio propuesto por el maestro Carlos Maria Romero que consistía en escribir una lista de los temores de cada uno, lo cual detonó un momento de pánico y soledad en el autor. También se describe la experiencia del autor trabajando en una pastelería en Nueva York y cómo un evento en la cocina se convirtió en una variación en la obra "Posibles Víctimas". Finalmente, el documento incluye un cuento adaptado de "La Historia Interminable" de Michael Ende, relacionándolo con los temas de valentía y enfrentamiento a la nada explorados en la obra.
