Artivism, Autobiography, Antiracism, De-colonial Pedagogies, Art-based Educational ResearchAbstract
This article shows the possibilities of the arts in education as a way of reclamation against oppression and a space for the empathy, reflection and learning. I create my autobiography as an arteducator through a personal introspection using artistic methodologies and research tools such as photographs and audiovisuals from my family archive. From this autobiography, I generate a reflection centered on my reality as a black, Bubi and Galician woman in a mostly white environment from the diaspora. I extrapolate these memories developing artistic strategies which I put into practice in different places of the world like A Coruña (Spain), Ottawa (Canada), Anantapur (India) and Malabo (Equatorial Guinea). An Art-based Educational Research which sees the Art Education as a fundamental tool to work the group cohesion, the improvement the people relations, the respect, the self-perception and the group consciousness, through artivist, anti-racist and de-colonial actions.
