No son cosas de niños, el bullying visibilizado desde las Artes Visuales.

Abstract

This project begins from a personal experience about bullying, an affair that continues affecting children and young people of school age, on a psychological and physical level. Nowadays we have a lot of written information that supports how negative these experiences are, however, not much is being done to help to this problem, since there are confused ideas of harassment, or its severity is simply unknown and tends to decrease its importance, this title can be taken as an example of this project, which rejects the popular phrase that minimizes the seriousness of school abuse in the Colombian context , ‘’Those are only children’s things'' a statement, which it seems harmless, contributes to denying the problem; given these situations the project proposes to make it as a visible aspect from the visual arts, a means that has allowed me to represent those emotions and actions that it includes, this is achieved mainly through paintings and installations, where bullying is present through metaphors and materials that evoke those feelings and actions of the trouble.
