Iter Peregrini: Creación de una experiencia estética visual, usando como medio la escultura conceptual, en torno a los desafíos que enfrentan universitarios migrantes

Abstract

This work encompasses artistic research based on the research-creation methodology, with the aim of producing a conceptual and experimental sculptural work that highlights the experiences of foreign university students, based on an autoethnographic and bibliographic study. The work is presented as a Greek column composed, from bottom to top, of ten small MDF panels, which satirically depict the everyday situations faced by foreign students, designed in a cartoon style. Ultimately, the project seeks to create a visually aesthetic and symbolic work, accompanied by a critical exegesis that will analyze the result of the finished work in consideration of the interdisciplinary approach attributed to its conceptualization from its ideothematic and morphological-expressive approach. It even engages the audience in introspection that provokes a connection and reflection on the difficulties that foreigners experience during the process of migrating to a new and unfamiliar environment.
