VOLUME II

RESULTS OF THE PROGRAM
THINKING OUR CONSEQUENCES

RESEARCH IN CONTEMPORARY ART FROM HOME

During March, we design the program in digital education platforms to meet with the artists that allow us to develop collective creation methodologies. Our meetings have been developed around dialogues and reflections on the needs that the local scene does not satisfy in these young creators.

These conversations have generated a series of visual elements that allow us to socialize our reflections around horizontality, public space and the personal - collective archive.

To think about the elements and actions to build an ideal workspace; Andrea, Maria Jesús, Micaela and Silvana have devised a set of proposals for collective, horizontal and safe work where they can develop their interests for the performance, urban, feminism and collective creation.

What is elaborated in this volume of THINK OUR CONSEQUENCES is a space to dialogue and encourage the collective creation that questions the standards of exhibition, commercialization and dissemination of art in our context.

PARTICIPANTS

Andrea López

Visual artist who flows between the planes of fantasy and reality. She is currently studying the specialty of Sculpture at PUCP. She found in art and performativity a place to express the multiplicity of identities. Her work is a body introspection and possibilities. Fantasy, understood as something close to the dream, the impossible and the yearnings of being, are an important part of her work because they function as an axiomatic axis to investigate reality.

María Jesús Jiménez

Multidisciplinary visual artist. She studied at Corriente Alterna School of Visual Arts in Lima, Peru. Her work has as a basic principle reflecting on the relationship between personal experiences and the social context, and includes a constant exploration of media. The topics are identity, social and cultural processes and the relationship of people with technology, specifically the internet.

Micaela Valdivia

Creator, activist and feminist. Woman and student of the Professional Photography Career at the Image Center and the School of Political Science of the Antonio Ruiz de Montoya University. In metamorphosis and constant movement in the face of struggles, creation and the community. Considered a woman and a girl. Crazy, witch and feminist; innocent, romantic and lost. Works in photography, writing and other disciplines of art. Develops themes of gender, culture, violence, territory and nature. Explores abstraction, the conceptual, the archive, and analog and digital processes.

Silvana Rosan

Visual artist, and also a bit of a poet. Study engraving at PUCP. She is currently developing the thesis - where she seeks in various media - to achieve a portrait of the Cuzco peasants before the agrarian reform. She likes researching words, drawing, and experimenting with various technical means. She has exhibited at the Kunst Art International Fair and in the exhibition Memoria Impresa at the Museum of Natural History. She is part of Taller La Pez collective.

RELATIONAL GRAPHICS

We developed work methodologies based on dialogue around 3 key points of art: LOCAL SCENES - PRODUCTION SYSTEMS - ACTIONS / COLLABORATIVE SPACES. This methodology allowed us to find different relationships between the artists. Relationships which they visually created in collective graphics.

These graphics are individual reflections that interact in a collective dialogue scenario, developed on virtual platforms that bring us together despite the distance. The creation seeks to generate awareness of the roles -creators, spectators, students, participants, among other relationships- that make up the art education and production of the participants.

CONCLUSIONS

We begin this program with a basic idea, which has been transformed over the meetings and the group questions. As coordinators, we take these questions as a challenge to constant creation of a mutable program that allows accommodating the diversity of contexts, points of view and acting ways that are presented in a group.

This program continues THINKING OUR CONSEQUENCES as autonomous management. This self-questioning is developed in conjunction with the participating artists through a horizontal dialogue. Therefore, for us it is important to thank Andrea, María Jesús, Micaela and Silvana for building together with us a methodology for the collective creation of initiatives - not so utopian - to diversify the local scene.

We continue to corroborate the importance of horizontal spaces for dialogue to propose various forms of contemporary artistic creation and interaction. With the development of this edition we reaffirm our intention to develop this space exclusively for students, which since it is a space to demonstrate, connect and create collective initiatives among young artists that diversify the art scene.

To conclude, we consider that this volume, and the artists that make it up, have proposed work outlines, roadmaps, and left questions that lead us to new initiatives that will allow us to expand our collaborative work network. As well as, expand our constant research and work around self-management, associativity and collective strategies that allow us to stimulate and face collaborative work from a sustainable perspective.
