Abstract
El arte como instrumento para la intervención político cultural ha estado en la agenda delos más importantes artistas de las últimas décadas del siglo XX y primeras del siglo XXI.Continuar con esta corriente del arte comprometido con los sectores más desventajados de las sociedades contemporáneas es el propósito central de este trabajo. La intención de actuar desde y con sectores marginales, artistas anónimos, personas privadas de su libertad, envejecientes, deambulantes, desempleados y juventudes en riesgo comenzó hace más de una década entre un puñado de sujetos carcelarios participantes de un programa de estudios universitario en la cárcel. Haciéndose eco de las iniciativas de dos grandes intelectuales puertorriqueños, la Dra. Edna Benítez Laborde y el Padre Jesuita y profesor universitario Fernando Picó constituyeron un taller de escritura creativa que interaccionó con personas privadas de la libertad (ellos mismos lo estaban), por cerca de cuatro (4) años. Intentaron crear una plataforma digital, Cronopios Anónimos, para exponer sus trabajos y los de otros creadores anónimos. Dieron vida al Taller de Impresión y Grabado La Imprentita 308, proyecto impulsado por la Dra. Benítez y el cineasta y artista gráfico Roberto Tito Otero. La Imprentita 308, heredera de Cronopios Anónimos, se propuso la creación de libros artesanales produciendo el libro artístico artesanal: Luna llena… mi esperanza y hoy nos ofrece su propuesta digital, La Imprentita 308: Plataforma Digital y Taller de Grabado e Impresión. Trabajo que continua con un programa aún más ambicioso, los Talleres de Creación Literaria usando las artes como herramienta para promover el cambio y lograr la paz social. Tesis a la que apuesta esta propuesta artístico social.
From the last decades of the twentieth century, art as an instrument of politico-cultural intervention-committed to disadvantaged groups-has been central to the agenda of many artists. Continuing this trend is the aim of this work. The intention of working alongside marginalized groups such as anonymous artists, the prison population, the homeless, the elderly, the unemployed, and at-risk youth began more than a decade ago with a small group of prison inmates participating in a university study program. Echoing the initiative of Puerto Rican intellectuals Dr. Edna Benitez Lazborde and Fernando Picó, they formed a creative writing group which interacted with prison populations for about 4 years. During this period, they attempted to create a digital platform called Cronópios Anónimos with the intention of giving exposure to their works as well as other anonymous artists. With the support of Dr. Benitez and writer/graphic artist Roberto "Tito" Otero they created a printing and engraving workshop called Taller de Impresión y Grabado La Imprentita 308, where the book Luna llena… mi esperanza was produced. It now features a digital platform called La Imprentita 308: Plataforma Digital y Taller de Grabado e Impresión, where the creative literature workshop titled Talleres de Creación Literaria uses art as a tool to foster change and achieve social peace, which is also the thesis of this proposal.
