With the conviction that art is a means of catharsis in the midst of pain, the Plantón: Art and Human Rights is a way of showing the social disagreement that Colombia lives today, as well as the yearnings of the construction of a society free of violence .
With a performance on the Political Charter of 91, with which it seeks to break and rebuild the meaning of the Constitution in the hands of the citizens, since in these times the violation of several of its articles has been evidenced, social organizations, such as Dejusticia , and artistic groups, such as Atempo, will meet at 10:00 am in the National Park to make visible and publicly and openly socialize the content of the Magna Carta.
We suggest: The arts rule the streets, an analysis of the role of art in social mobilizations
By wallpapering each of the pages of the Constitution in the public space, creating a platform for reading it and thus proclaiming the articles enshrined in the text among all the participants, the purpose of the meeting is to create a sound in favor of a pedagogical and informative action that generates questions to the citizen and fosters a purposeful and collective dialogue. The ultimate goal of the platter is to make visible the importance of the Constitution, as well as the difficult situation that the Political Charter is going through, according to Dejusticia.
Understanding art and education as tools for social and community development, Diego Malaver, a member of the Atempo Collective, says that the cultural project has focused on generating creative scenarios for coexistence with relational art, experiential education and cultural management. and the promotion of leaderships focused on sustainable development, gender equality, defense of the environment and the search for peace and reparation; serving, in turn, as an interdisciplinary work platform with various social actors. “In addition to understanding why we protest, it is also necessary to sensitize ourselves and activate the body and the presence,” says Malaver.
Thought as a joint effort, in which several social actors will participate, including, for example, circus agents and pole dancers, this initiative joins social mobilizations with the intention of rebuilding the Political Constitution, in addition to promoting peaceful protest through art and generate a space for people to know the Magna Carta and have access to the articles that at this time call for protest.
