Research-creation Experiences in Rural Areas in Colombia with Adolescents : Transformation Processes Mediated by Art View Digital Media

Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
Daniel Bonilla Montenegro  

This paper recognizes in a process of creative research the potential of art to generate experiences of configuration of subjectivities, as well as social transformation. In the first place, I make a contextualization of the places where this work experience is developed, located in rural sectors of some departments of Colombia. Secondly, I work on the potential of art as a strategy of recognition, transformation and social mediation at the moment of generating transformative processes with adolescents in rural areas. Then, I share some results on how the subjectivities of the participants have been configured and how it has been possible to facilitate the communication of localized experiences with the participants. Finally, I present some reflections and discussions on art, the rural context and social transformation in Colombia.
