PEREZ, Christian Proaño. Teaching arts to non artists: Universidad Amawtay Wasi´s intercultural experience. Índex [online]. 2023, n.15, pp.13-25. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v8i15.527.

In this article I am going to describe the approach that the Universidad Amawtay Wasi has taken towards the teaching of the arts to non-artists, within the Common Trunk to all careers, as part of our decolonizing pedagogic project. I will discuss the role of arts in managing and sharing corporal knowledge, and the ways in which the teaching of arts fits into an intercultural approach. I will analyze the ways in which interculturality is understood within the indigenous movements and the ways arts are technologies of self-available for us to emancipate from within of the colonial-capitalist unconsciousness. Finally, I will show the topics I cover in the first 4 semesters, plus some examples of work made by students for the readers to analyze.

Keywords : interculturality; art education; body knowledge; non artists.
