The connection between art and pedagogy goes back to the foundation of aesthetic theory around the time of the French Revolution, when aesthetics was seen as an educational tool in philosophy that helped liberate the individual. We tend to forget that. But what’s important today comes from the fact that our contemporary condition is suffused with individualism to the point that many artists are thinking of ways to create community and notions of collaboration; collectivity has re-entered our consciousness with a force. These projects (frequently in Latin America and particularly in Colombia) are part of a larger movement to identify what the expanding role of art and culture can play in politics and social sustainability.
