Visualidades latinoamericanas y relato oral.

Aportes desde la etnografía para una ampliación historiográfica de las artes.

Abstract

The present proposal, through extracts from oral stories collected in the framework of semi-directed and in-depth interviews, seeks to demonstrate the omission - and its need for incorporation in the historical account of the arts - of the reflexivity of agents, genealogies, conceptualizations, creative methodologies and itineraries of visual and material circulation typical of the artistic-exhibition circuits of Latin American public spaces. From this perspective, public space acquires a particular role by functioning as a recipient of artistic practices and agents historically subordinated by the colonial condition and cultural elites. Their omission as active agents of the artistic field and their exclusion from the institutionalization and historicization of the national and local art field reveals a partial, dissected and limited consideration of historical relations, projected -unidirectionally- from discursives promoted by the hegemonic agents of the field.
