Literatura científica y creación en artes visuales: reflexiones desde “El otro mar” (Colombia).

Abstract

This article is a product derived from the project “The other sea: Development of a narrative proposal from the performing arts for the communication and appropriation of heritage knowledge about the sea in two points of Colombia”, presented within the framework of the Investigarte 2.0 call, of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Minciencias), in 2020. The investigation contained here aims to contribute to the process of social appropriation of knowledge, proposed by Minciencias, based on the referencing of specialized non-artistic documentation sources that offer resources or inputs that serve to create a work in the field of art. visual arts. The methodological commitment on which the development of the general project is based is the notion of research-creation, leveraged on the concept of research for the arts proposed by Hank Borgdorff, and which is practice-oriented, supported by documentary analysis as a tool major. The results include the revision of a corpus of 128 non-artistic documentary sources, compiled during the execution of the general project. Finally, the conclusions state that it is possible to make a social appropriation of knowledge and contribute to its dissemination from areas in which the document was not originally designed, in this case, from the appropriation for the arts of non-artistic knowledge. This attempt allowed the construction of a theater, music and dance performance that projects a possible installation-type creation, based on the knowledge of the sea.
