El arte y la problemática social de la discriminación racial

Abstract

The present investigation projects a problem that has currently been disguised and taken as a case with little or no importance, in such a way, racism is a social problem that comes from history loaded with hatred, exploitation and death. Given the case, art is introduced into the social sphere as a communicative medium in which it represents, through artistic photography, famous and common characters who carry with them personal stories and stories affected by racism and discrimination. The research project presents as a result an artistic photographic sequence in the city of Machala denoting in them the feelings that these people reflect when telling their stories. The photographic technique has been chosen as a direct means which helps us capture moments and necessary expressions that with the benefits of editing tools (Adobe Photoshop) we achieve positive results and surreal photographs loaded with symbols and messages that emphasize and help viewers receive these messages in a clearer and more concise way. The objective of this project is that through the message and information received by each of the viewers, ideas or possible solutions are executed, in such a way that laws and sanctions are imposed for the aggressors as well as benefits and support programs for people affected. In chapters I and II it covers the problem, its beginnings, historical facts, causes and consequences of racism, among them the introduction of the photographic technique as a communicative medium, its main references related to surrealist and abstract photography of preferences that are inclined in the same problem or that has to do with the investigation. In chapter III we focus on the photographic evidence of each of the people with whom we worked, this process is important in the project since it makes it easier for future artists or researchers to take reference of our work and apply it in a similar or focused way in some different technique that will work your project. In this same chapter we present the edition of the pre-production, production and post-production, giving way to the final chapter IV in which it covers the preview of the final result, grouping the entire artistic photographic sequence to proceed to publication through digital platforms ( Facebook) hoping that this work has a great reception and identified people can add some type of comment in favor or in the form of protest, because I think that art tries to express what the artist investigates and feels through his representation, therefore , it is favorable and you must be ethical in each comment provided from each person's point of view.
