Resumen
Descripción
This article is an attempt to show some theoretical issues founded on how visual literacy processescome about through a photography project. The framework explained is based on Wendy Ewald’s literacythrough photography study (LTP), and on Freire’s reading conception which stare at literacy as a processfor social inclusion. Further a literature review, I provide some practical aspects based on a visual literacyexperience carried out in a private school in Bogotá. Likewise, I describe some key moments of the visualliteracy process that can be developed by an image’s viewer. All this process is based on the socio culturalperspective.
