La colaboración como espacio de resistencia

Abstract

This article takes the publication Modos de hacer (Blanco et al. 2001) as a point of reference to explore artistic practices grounded in the collective and the collaborative, as well as the tensions, fragilities, and divergences that emerge between these notions. The interaction between the collective and the collaborative is approached as a complex, transdisciplinary, and situated practice, traversed by ideas such as cooperation, engagement, dissent, transformation, self-management, and community action. The article offers a critical reading of collaborative processes as dispositifs that intervene in cultural, institutional, and social structures from a relational and affective perspective. Ultimately, it argues that collaborative art, when linked to specific contexts and genuine participatory processes, not only redefines the boundaries of art but also rehearses new forms of democratic institutionality.
