Course description

This course is about the act of sharing knowledge through art. We will ask ourselves how people have reproduced their cultures from generation to generation.

• How do we teach our skills, our beliefs, our rituals, our pleasures, our fears?
• How do individuals pass on these traits to younger generations?
• What role does creativity play in this process?

Our group will investigate the history of Latin American art in the last two Centuries to discover how artists and intellectuals have developed methods to transmit cherished traditions and values but also to help people accept new ideas.
