La memoria histórica de las víctimas en Colombia en espacios artísticos urbanos

Abstract

In the social sciences, the studies around the memory took boom, did the decade of the eighties but perhaps it is after the Peace Agreement when they become massive. However, the victims, from the beginning, found in art a way of narrating their experiences and shouts of non-repetition. In this sense, what the text really intends to answer is whether the art manages to express the truths and facts that the victims lived, reflecting a change in their practices towards reconciliation and leaving aside the idealization from the aesthetic point of view. To provide a basis for the discussion between memory, art and communication, a brief overview and concept of art is made, an approach to the concept of memory and finally the relationship between art, memory, and communication is presented, taking into account some works that have been highlighted within a specific urban space like Bogotá.
