La fotografía como una herramienta de reinterpretación de la identidad Afrocolombiana sobre los estereotipos culturales de piel y raza existentes en la Facultad de Artes y Humanidades de la Universidad de Pamplona.

Abstract

The following research project, with modality in media production, focused on photography, aims to use this tool to reinterpret and make visible the diversity of the Afro-Colombian identity, questioning the racial stereotypes that may be present in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Pamplona. Through a series of photographs, which will portray students belonging to the Afro-Colombian community, the aim is to capture the representative differences of the community, highlighting its cultural richness, the beauty of their identities, the courage and individual strength that contrasts with the stereotypical perception they face daily. All this with the objective of promoting inclusion and generating discussion and reflection on the complexity of Afro-Colombian identity among students, academics and the public. This project seeks to become an educational and transformative tool, promoting respect, empathy and appreciation of cultural diversity. By presenting these photographs in an educational and public context, it is intended not only to raise awareness about the experiences and challenges of the Afro-Colombian community, but also to motivate concrete actions, such as the generation of spaces for intercultural dialogue and the promotion of activities that honor cultural diversity in the university and society as a whole.
