la fotografía como medio artístico sobre la discriminación de la comunidad lgbt+ en la sociedad orense.

Abstract

This degree project addresses discrimination towards the LGBT+ community from an artistic perspective, using photography as a tool to make visible and reflect on this problem. Through an investigative process, it has been explored how art can serve as a means of denunciation and sensitization, analyzing different artistic proposals that have worked on gender and diversity issues. Research has focused on understanding how the photographic image can generate impact on society and contribute to the construction of a critical space on gender inequality and discrimination. The development of this work has traveled through different stages that have allowed to build a visual proposal with a strong symbolic content. First, a theoretical analysis of art and its relationship with gender inequality was carried out, reviewing historical and contemporary referents that have used photography to question social norms and represent diversity. Subsequently, he deepened the conceptualization of the artistic work, defining the aesthetic and discursive approaches that would guide the production of the images. During the production phase, different materials and techniques were explored, experimenting with the digital format and the printed adhesive vinyl as an innovative alternative for the presentation of the work. This experimentation allowed to expand the possibilities of visual communication and generate a greater impact on the spectator. The selection of the visual elements was carried out with the objective of transmitting, in a clear and forceful way, the reality of the discrimination facing the LGBT+community, highlighting both the challenges and the resilience of its members. The creation process has not only been an artistic exploration, but also an experience of deep reflection on the importance of documenting and representing these problems. Photography, as an easy -to -access visual means and strong expressive load, allows to build narratives that confront the viewer with realities that are often ignored or minimized. Through the work, it seeks to cause a reaction in the public, encouraging empathy and questioning of prejudices rooted in society. The purpose of this photographic proposal is to generate a space of criticism and dialogue around the discrimination of the LGBT+community, using the visual power of photography as a means to sensitize and educate. Through a series of carefully constructed images, it is intended to expose the realities faced by LGBT+people, not only in terms of discrimination, but also in their expressions of identity, resistance and struggle. The work not only seeks to denounce the problem, but also to celebrate diversity and reinforce the importance of visibility within art and society. In this sense, the proposal is conceived as a bridge between art and social reflection, where the image not only documes, but also challenges and generates awareness. With this work, it is intended to demonstrate that art, and in particular photography, can be an effective tool to question inequality structures and contribute to a cultural change towards a more just and inclusive society.
