Abstract

In current art, syncretism is understood as the category that abstractly brings together the effects that come from different beliefs, dogmas, behaviors and places that are opposed to produce a result in the ways of acting, feeling, thinking and acting that affect the creative processes. The recognition of syncretism in art arises from the mixing and sharing of elements of indiscriminate origin that facilitate the handling of concepts, forms and actions that load the works with useful heterogeneities for artistic production. The objective of this article is to link it with a performance that critically addresses the political and social problems of Latin America in a useful research mode for teaching in the arts.
