We work on popular education and the relationship with social movements to rethink current problems and meanings of arts education. The idea of the popular contemplates
democratic access to culture
and perspectives of
empowerment
and
emancipation.
The construction of
the political
contains a reflection and review of social movements that have influenced the ways of doing and conceptualize the artistic and educational practices associated with the popular. For this reason an important concept for us is
Undoing institutions.
We review terms associated with popular education such as: community education, sociocultural animation, emancipatory practices, critical pedagogies and systematization of experiences.
