Abstract
LARRAIN-GONZALEZ, América and MADRID-GARCES, Pedro José. Artistic and Cultural Afro-Colombian Manifestations. An Approximation to the Case of Girardota (Antioquia, Colombia). Hist.mem. [online]. 2017, n.15, pp.107-135. ISSN 2027-5137. https://doi.org/10.19053/20275137.n15.2017.4926.
Taking an ethnography developed between 2015 and 2016 as a starting point, this article offers a description of the elements that compose the backdrop for the artistic and cultural manifestations of an Afro-descendant community in the municipality of Girardota, Antioquia.
In this way, we conclude that there is an inseparable bond between this community's participation in political and community organization scenarios, and the ethnical character attributed to their artistic and cultural manifestations.
We priviledge a focus that understands these manisfestations as a vehicle for historical, social and political reflection. This implies exposing how, after the Constitution of 1991 and with the implementation of the multicultural discourse in Colombia, population of African descent reformulates its ethnical identity to establish a differential relation with regards to its history of slavery and servitude.
Keywords : Afro-Colombians; Girardota - Antioquia (Colombia); Artistic Manifestations; Ethnic Identity.
