Resumen
CUESTA FLOREZ, Alexa. Visionaries. Of the Visual and Performative in the Contemporary Art of the Colombian Caribbean. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.42, pp.58-81. ISSN 0122-5197. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.mys21-42.vpga.
Gender perspective in the Colombian Caribbean art can be contextualized within the worldwide feminist movement. The comparison is established in the artwork of female artists from this region, as they subvert, demonstrate, and reveal with poignant expressive freedom, not only their intimate concerns, but a whole series of questions to the conditions that have been culturally imposed on women in the Caribbean. They come from two different generations. The first generation, analyzed in this installment, can be defined as the pioneers of gender perspective in Colombian art. The second generation consolidates issues through individual pledges in a diasporic way and increasingly committed to the social women’s movement. Both generations do this through performative, hybrid, visual and audiovisual art. These are avant-garde artists of the visual and performative art in the Colombian Caribbean. We prefer to call them, in both cases, visionaries.
