Ítem Álbum posible: una vida en el trópico(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Salgado García , María Alejandra; Rojas Casas , UmbertoThe Possible Album: A Life in the Tropics is an interpretation–creation project that proposes the construction of a family photo album as the result of an exercise in remembrance and archival tracing of my mother’s childhood and her intermittent passage through two families. This practice of evocation takes possibility, orality, and listening as its means, which in turn draw upon memories, their diverse narratives, and the photographic archive available in the homes my mother inhabited. This serves as confirmation that the utterances of memory are necessary to resist its fissures and, consequently, its effects. It is a photo album consolidated through the possibilities of memory to alter, reconfigure, and imagine a childhood that unfolds between two places — an album permeated by oblivion, the past, and the present.Ítem La visualidad y la colección como experiencia estética(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Forero Ariza, Catalina; Leguizamón, DanielThis project is born from a daily photographic practice that began in an ingenuous and intuitive way, through the repeated documentation of dry coffee grounds stains at the bottom of a cup. Over the years, this practice evolved into a collection of images that aimed not to represent anything, but rather to enable a visual and sensitive experience. Based on the resulting archive, an artistic creation process was developed, guided by the concepts of collection, visuality, and esthesis. The final work is a video installation that proposes a contemplative relationship with the image, without any kind of narrative or meaning. Thus, this document reflects on the aesthetic, conceptual, and methodological foundations of the creative process.Ítem No era miedo, era humanidad: Un reconocimiento a la incomodidad de la vida ante la falta de propósito(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Otálora Caicedo, Julián David; León Rodríguez, RicardoThe social reality created by human beings is an artifice born from our passage through the world. I affirmed this idea by observing and projecting onto myself the routine of my parents. The impact that this imminent way of living had on me led me to ask: Why would I want something like that? I failed to find an answer; as a consequence, I faced thoughts of death and hopelessness. This project, however, does not revolve around me. It is not therapy, but a confrontation, not mine, but yours, with the questions that arose from that first inquiry: Why do we do what we do? What is the meaning of existence? Many act without questioning their participation in the artifice; I cannot do that. I propose a space, an interstice, where it is possible to recognize that existential discomfort as a necessary, even parasitic, part of life, one that can renew it, paralyze it, or take it away.Ítem Crepitaciones: archivos y sonografías de un barrio(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Orjuela Martinez , Maria Gabriela; Wiesner, LauraThis project analyzes the transformation of the Santa Fe neighborhood through a personal archive that, as both witness and inhabitant, reflects on the changes occurring within the urban space. It explores how fear-based imaginaries shape the construction of marginalized territories, employed as tools of capitalist development and intertwined with notions of progress, visible in restoration plans such as the 2022–2035 Land Management Plan (POT) and the construction of Bogotá’s metro system. The archive is presented as an entryway into the non-visual image, centered on listening and sound, in order to question alternative ways of relating to space. Sound, language, archive, and image intertwine, nourishing memory and revealing meaningful connections with the territory.Ítem K1ng_d0m(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Avendaño García, Sofia; Sandoval Quimbayo, Sebastián; Sandoval Quimbayo, Sebastián [0000-0002-1287-7542]K1ng-dom seeks to highlight the potential of the avatar as a device for transformation and identity construction, aiming to understand and question the performative actions that emerge around the idea of the feminine and its segmentation within digital spaces. This is approached through the exploration of both relational and individual identity construction in digital environments. Likewise, the project examines the representation of the female body and its exploitation in media designed for male consumption, such as video games. Finally, as the outcome of the project, an installation is created that integrates 3D printing and video.Ítem Yo a ti, mi tiempo(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Espinosa Torres, Daniel Felipe; Sandoval Quimbayo , Sebastian; Sandoval Quimbayo, Sebastian [0000-0002-1287-7542]Yo a ti, mi tiempo reflects on the value of human relationships and their transformation over time. Through an intimate lens, it explores the nature of friendship, emphasizing the importance of physical encounters and shared time in contrast to the immediacy of digital communication. The work integrates philosophical, anthropological, and artistic perspectives to address the symbolic weight of gifts and the ways in which time is perceived, materialized, and fades away. Through the visual arts, it delves into themes such as fragility, absence, and memory. The project seeks to reveal how fragility becomes materialized in the processes of change and the fading of our personal relationships, fostering sensitivity toward how we connect emotionally over time and highlighting both the significance of these bonds and their ephemeral nature.Ítem No siempre nos gusta el rosa(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Erazo Garzón, Edna Gabriela; Valderrama Gil, Dila JuliaThis project interweaves the testimonies of several women from the same family and different generations, about femininity, motherhood, independence, the body, love, and the construction of identity. Through conversation and ceramics, these encounters transformed in a book where tensions between what is inherited and what is chosen. The voices that compose this text question about imposed gender roles and stereotypes, while revaluing positions, memories, and revealing everyday forms of resistance. These transgenerational testimonies make visible how the personal is political, and how intimate history becomes a tool for healing and collective construction. This book was showed in an atmosphere that evokes the home—an intimate space from which the public is questioned, showing how domestic experiences also shape ways of thinking, creating, and exercising female agency.Ítem Fisura en el sur: En respuesta a algunas problemáticas del ecosistema de las plásticas contemporáneas en Bogotá.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Puerto Moreno, Anahid Gizeh Helizabeth; Ordoñez Robayo, Camilo; Ordoñez Robayo, Camilo [0000-0002-0293-3045]The contemporary visual and fine arts artistic field in Bogotá, due to an evident centralization, has brought a pretty diluted interest to the public and area in the city's south. This inequality must be considered, given that they respond to structural situations that are also mirrored in the south's cultural landscape, like it's shown in the interviews and from the personal experiences of two directors of independent spaces in the south, with whom I speak in the second chapter. In this way, I propose Fisura as a way to cope with this situation. In this self-managed and independent space located in Kennedy, I pretend to get to a non specialized public and collaborate with emerging artists, and also to promote an artistic production that in some way makes a space to reflect about some aspects about Bogotá's south.Ítem La huerta: ecosistema narrativo. escucha, prácticas artísticas y agroecología(Universidad Distrital Francisco Jose de Caldas) Ramírez Lozano, Sarai Sofía; Ayala Herrera, Fredy AlexanderThe urban garden is a living classroom and a space of encounter where experiences, stories, and memories converge. From research-creation, this project delves into the connection between artistic and agroecological practices, deeply interconnected dimensions. To understand this encounter, it begins with a vital experience: volunteering in the Agrubachué urban agroecological garden, understood as an action that opens the door to other ways of relating to the city. Through the acts of sowing, composting, and sharing, listening manifests as the primary process that reveals a Narrative Ecosystem where collective stories and memories emerge. Artistic practices such as writing, the artist’s book, photography, video, and installation enable resonance with the memories of the territory and give rise to projects such as El Libro Huerta: Cosechar con los Ojos, La Bici Itinerante Bachué, El Libro Compostero, and Memoria Fértil, which engage in dialogue with the past, present, and future of this ecosystem, which itself contains the transformations of the garden and of those who inhabit it, along with their childhood memories and experiences; these devices unfold as forms of ecopedagogy and sensitive records, which at the same time allow the activation and materialization of other ways of being and doing in Bogotá, through community dialogue, the act of gardening, narrating, and imagining together.Ítem Lijando muros : estrategias antiespecistas y la enseñanza como método de creación artística(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Cárdenas Castañeda, Juan Jacobo; Wiesner Correa, Laura CarolinaSanding is a metaphor used to refer to the process of gradually and steadily narrowing the gap between a speciesist culture—which views animals as objects, products, and resources—and an emerging ideology that recognizes them as sentient beings, with interests and the right to a life free from exploitation. This project is the result of pedagogical work carried out in the San Benito neighborhood of Bogotá: a territory marked by the fur industry and tanneries. Through creative workshops developed with students from the San Benito Abad School, art education was used as a tool to question speciesism and cultivate an animalist, vegan, and anti-speciesist position. Sanding Walls is an exercise in cultural transformation, where art becomes a political and pedagogical act that invites us to rethink our relationship with other species.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.
