Propuesta artística contemporánea en base a la memoria representativa de personajes ausentes del barrio Santa Teresita, Tarqui

Abstract

The present research tries to reflect on the commemoration of the memory through objects, starting from the analysis of the concepts: individual, collective and historical memory, through a philosophical point of view, understanding that memory are facts that they can be transferred to the present through different social frameworks. With the philosophy of Halbwachs, the relationship of individual and collective memory is appreciated through the interaction between a social group, there is also evidence of the culture and identity that supports the continuity and history of a population, each society has its own history that narrates your most important events. The objects are vestiges that embody the memory of the human being allowing to build and maintain the history of humanity; art has used objects as a fundamental tool to transmit real events of a society adapting memory and objects in different artistic expressions capable of transmitting and remembering the memory of the past. For the creation of the final work, several artistic references have been taken into explanation that have based their works on the aforementioned concepts, the final result is to create an artistic work through the use of objects belonging to the deceased people of the community “Santa Teresita - Tarqui”, in order to reactivate and remember the memory of some exemplary characters of the community.
