Experience and teaching approach for dealing with de-colonial practice in contemporary visual aesthetics

Abstract

The views within colonial thoughts reinforce the idea of equality between societies because of the importance of respecting differences and balance their historical value. The fact of including these proposals in the educational contexts builds new social contexts to rethink their culture from a critical perspective. The text shows how aesthetics can be a defining factor in the colonial turn, to search a social identity in the Ecuadorian university context. This paper also exposes didactic proposals implemented for this theme, as well as the conclusions of this experience.
