ARTISTIC RESEARCH FOR TRANSCOMUNITIES
Andrea Calderón
(In collaboration with Valentina Alvarado + Erick Beltrán )The workshop was conceived as a space for conducting research through artistic and collective creation practices to obtain disruptive knowledge that protects the singular. Devising a set of theoretical and practical tools through research and material creation. Contrary to what is usually claimed, the problem is not the abundance of images but the shortage of images, all those realities without images, that is, without the ability to be imagined. The migrant reality is a reality without images, except for the stereotypes constructed by the mass media, which is a type of governance exercised over those ways of life. The workshop proposed to examine the interstices of that exclusion to question hegemonic lifestyles, to embrace non-segregated lifestyles based on community creation.
