OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT

Initiative and origin

The project starts from the observation of a case of bullying related to the cultural origin of a pupil and partly his skin colour. After this, it was decided to make a series of artistic proposals that have continuity and coherence and support the work done by the tutors in this case of bullying. It is considered important to work on this case not only with those involved but with the whole class, as they are the observers of abusive behaviour that is normalised. In this dissertation, the aim is to go further and deal with the case of bullying from the perspective of self-identity and group identity, in order to investigate the impact of bullying on them. Therefore, I set three main research questions as the driving force for the conceptual framework described In the context of the intervention, I was also able to articulate my personal interests, which are directly related to the use of art as a tool to change and improve the social and contextual reality of the subject, following the famous phrase of Berch (2015): "Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer to shape it".
