Abstract

Performance as participatory artivism in the face of social complaints in the local context Author: Eliana Mabel Mosquera Niebla Tutor: Lcdo Peñaherrera Pereira Erwin Fernando The present research work called "Performance as participatory artivism in the face of social complaints within the local context", proposes the participation of art in its performative modality in the face of social demands that takes place at the local level in the city of Machala. Performance is a pragmatic element that, through the scenic, presents in a symbolic way ideas of social denunciation. It starts from being an interdisciplinary tool that uses its hybridization to implement the combined art before two disciplines: the plastic and the scenic. A performance from artivism is the artistic proposal for the realization of the work called "HUELLA, DESGARRE, OLVIDO", this plays in a significant way the events that took place in this 2020. The work transcends through the performative presentation of the social discomforts before the state Ecuadorian due to the inability to manage circumstances under the catastrophic impact in the health area, worldwide, national and local known as covid-19. Therefore, there were uprisings in the streets sponsored by both public entities and associations of political and social movements; who marched with protective measures to demolish the exaggerated strategies of the state to restore the economy in the country. Consequently, the work not only focused on the massification of the socioeconomic alert that the country was experiencing, but rather focused on what was latent in forgotten. Issues in situations such as medical negligence due to covid-19, femicides, transfemicides and even hit men; media ideas that occur circumstantially throughout the country. In this case, it is believed that the government agencies are not supplied by the complaints brought by the affected people, or on the other hand it is believed that they turn a blind eye. This artivism is shaped towards public reflection and invites that these cases do not go unpunished. Art as protest poses an interconnection with politics, philosophy and sociology. Situational disciplines that lead to systematic social behavior, where the individual has a power relationship with the state. In this case, the space of art in society will depend on the needs that arise in it. The woman as a performance artist will create a political platform of empowerment, in which other archetypes that are not heard will succumb to the struggle. Activism arises as a new type of political art, where the participation of any union fits. Therefore, as a reflective critique, the research does support the participation of the local individual for the rights taken under an oppressive state. The work carried out in this research is based on an artistic contribution to the transient environment of the manifestation of citizen rights, because it is known that there are political and social groups that present proposals of an activist nature; mostly with creative touches focused on art; that promote a transformation and vindication towards a liberal democracy to counteract the aggravations of the differences between class, ethnic group or gender.
