Jóvenes, grupo y arte: las personas jóvenes y el arte re-unidos

Abstract

(descriptive): We analyze group practices that heal and contribute to the processes of psychosocial reconfiguration and social change. In this opportunity, we present the results of research from an interpretive perspective, the relationship between youth, group and art. In particular, we reflect on the group and the contemporary art in the reconfiguration of experiences in young people. The methodology was underpinned in the qualitative perspective, by the interest in the meanings of reality from the subjects. It included the observation of the Juvenile Initiative Laboratories for Peace (Suba-Bogotá), inspired by the postkleinian psychoanalytic observation of babies. The analysis strategy was hermeneutic-interpretive. The article concludes that before the stigmatization that the young people in Colombia experience, the group and the art are configured in strategies of support and emotional resignification.

Key words: Socio-cultural action, contemporary art, social change, armed conflict, youth participation and social psychology (Unesco Social Sciences Thesaurus).
