The significance of artistic practices regarding violence in Mexico (original) (raw)

The piece (fixed image or in movement) is a way of communication. This statement has different meanings: on the one hand, the piece as a collective construction with social and historical sense, on the other hand, the symbolic interactions with its visitors, as with its anchorage to an specific time by pointing out violence in Mexico, on top of its argumentative and semantic content. All these elements prompt an interpretative analysis. These contemporary audio-visual speeches lead towards an interpretation, and not a unique or unequivocal interpretation of a fact is not aimed, but, to contribute with an understanding of a certain phenomenon that can be explained through culture, history and the language in a unique and irreplaceable piece. The current iconic production in Mexico incorporates the use of digital technologies (blogs, virtual social networks, etc) and streets as ways to express and represent a speech which stands for some other displays which do not obey commercial parameters, instead they seek action and collective production to face or discuss violence in our country, since this production outstands due to its peculiar aesthetic proposal and its social commitment.
