SANTOFIMIO-ORTIZ, Rodrigo    PEREZ-AGUDELO, Sandra Milena. Monuments and urban art: perceptions, attitudes and values in the city of Manizales. []. , 22, 2, pp.37-47.   03--2021. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2020.2221.

Can monuments and urban art provide interpretative and comprehensive elements about the city? What do your actors reveal? What about public open space? As a methodological support we rely on "Social Constructionism" theory, in addition to social representations and the technique of interviewing social actors, ethnographic work and bibliography related to the subject. The relationship between monuments, urban art and public open space in the city, only if posed in a comprehensive and dialectical way, would facilitate its appropriation and enjoyment among its enacting stakeholders; likewise, the possibility of claiming a way of subtracting public open space from the restrictive codes of financial logic and of value, as defined by contemporary capitalism. Then, it is concluded that, in the case of Manizales, these relational and vindication bets are expressed in the Torre del Cable and in the work of urban art Desde Chipre, both interesting and suggestive for studies on the contemporary city.
