Desarmar la frontera estereotipada desde el arte contextual de una colombiana en Quebec

Abstract

This paper explores the possibilities of disarming the Canadian migratory propaganda from the perspective of Constanza Camelo Suarez, a Colombian visual artist living in the province of Quebec. To this effect, a counterpoint between two discourses is created (one from the State and the other from an artist), in which the incompatibilities between them are analyzed. This counterpoint is about two concepts: a stereotyped border (fixed, immobile and closed; an obstacle to  knowledge) and a dissonant border (flexible, mobile and open; a necessary step towards knowledge).
