Pedagogical primers on Ecuadorian artists with an intersectional approach

Abstract

The objective of this work is to socialize the process of developing pedagogical booklets called “Relatos biográficos en animaciones visuales sobre artistas ecuatorianas con enfoque interseccional” for the elementary educational sublevel. The booklets are based on the biography and work of the artists Angélica Alomoto Cumanicho, Jana Cungachi Morocho, Ruth Cruz Mendoza and Doris Samaniego Brito. Four plans are proposed for each artist for the area of Cultural Artistic Education based on elements of the national curriculum. The methodology is qualitative and attempts to value access to the artists' personal narratives as a creative and open process. The theoretical framework is the intersectional approach that problematizes the multiple discriminations that women go through, social class, gender. It concludes on the importance of introducing female artists into the classrooms as references as a political gesture.

KEYWORDS: Ecuadorian artists, women artists, pedagogical booklets, intersectional approach, cultural and artistic education.
