La resistencia de los invisibles: los pueblos originarios frente a las políticas de ejercicio del poder estatal aplicado a una propuesta de arte objeto

Abstract

This artistic proposal, centered on the line of Object Art, starts from the historical understanding of the relationship between the Ecuadorian State and the Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities, in order to build on this understanding (whose key elements are condensed in this artistic proposal); an element that incites the spectators to understand this complex confrontation, whose tensions do not find a definitive solution under the parameters established historically in our country. In "The Resistance of the Invisibles", the permanent hostility between the People (indigenous sectors) and the State is explored, with the aim of highlighting, through a playful object (Table Football), the setbacks that the governments have caused by their inadequate handling of power in relation to the popular sectors. This scenario is not strange to the Ecuadorian population throughout its history, given that the interaction between the political, economic and social spheres has been a conflict that Ecuador has carried with it since its very consolidation as an independent state, and even finds its roots in previous processes framed within the framework of colonial exploitation.
