Memoria de una comunidad oculta

Abstract

The text describes an artistic project that seeks to actively intervene in the neighborhood community in Colombia, with the goal of fostering artistic sensitivity and creativity among the population. The author argues that art education in Colombia is deficient and that contemporary art is little known and appreciated by the majority of the population. The project consisted of an artistic and creative development workshop for adolescents, where participants were encouraged to express their memories and experiences through art. The author emphasizes the importance of active intervention in the community and the need for artists to assume a more committed role in society. The text also references the work of Joseph Beuys and Manuel Santana, who have incorporated active intervention into their artistic projects. The author emphasizes the importance of collective participation in art and the need for artists to work with the community to create works that reflect the reality and needs of society.
