Folclor maravilla de mi patria

Abstract

The thesis "Folklore, a wonder of my homeland" by Ofidia Rojas V., undertaken for the degree of Ceramist at the School of Arts of Bogotá, addresses the importance of Colombian folklore in the formation of national identity. It explores the historical evolution of Colombian culture, highlighting the impact of miscegenation and creolism on regional expressions. The thesis is divided into sections on history, geography, and specific cultural expressions, particularly the musical folklore of the Andean region, including traditional dances such as the bambuco and the pasillo. The author emphasizes the richness and diversity of Colombian traditions and the need for greater appreciation and dissemination of these cultural elements. The findings include a detailed process of applying ceramics relevant to the artistic expressions analyzed, along with gratitude to the mentors who guided the research.
