OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT INTERVENTION BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY

2

This activity is carried out in the Art on Mars workshops, where art and geometry are worked on. It is important to clarify that when we talk about deconstructing the concept of race, it is from the point of view of denouncing discrimination and racism. The concept of race is treated as a social construct designed to discriminate, as understood by the artist Angélica Dass (2014) on which the workshop is based. Specifically it is based on her work Humanae, mentioned in the theoretical framework, and on her educational workshops where she extensively develops the aforementioned concept.

As explained in the report, the activity consists of three parts:

- The first part deals with the viewing of a presentation in which Angelica Dass's work Humanae, (Dass, 2022) is introduced, in this presentation there are questions designed to question the established in the students and invite debate in the assembly, such as what is the colour flesh? With an image of different coloured pencils. The aim is to reflect on small, imperceptible discriminatory details of everyday life in the classroom

- The second part consists of making a self-portrait using plastic geometric shapes and colouring it with one's own skin colour For this, mirrors are used (so that the pupils can see their own reflection) and a palette of their own colours is used to arrive at the tone that is closest to their real skin colour.

- The third part is the installation in the corridor set up with the help of the pupils who make the collaborative work and give it meaning, because the beauty of diversity lies in the comparison of these very different skin tones.
