La Educación Artística como herramienta para la transformación social

Abstract

My project aims to understand and practice pedagogy as an artistic practice that enables the necessary social and political changes to take shape and develop among young people, through a teaching-learning process in which new forms of relationship are woven, tools are discovered to enable students to participate in understanding and transforming their immediate reality, and creativity and exploration are fostered in all aspects of the human being’s holistic development. This project is part of the “Geografías Corporales” Incubator and the OKAN Research Group, falling under the research areas of Art and Pedagogy, and Art and Society; its territory of practice and action is the Funza Departmental Educational Institution. My goal throughout this experience is to support the various projects being developed within the research group and the institution in order to gain a broader understanding of pedagogical practice linked to research-creation processes, and to test and apply the technical and conceptual knowledge I have acquired throughout my academic career.
