Argentina, where are you from? Performative and pedagogical strategies to tackle racism

Abstract:

We present the development of a communicative and pedagogical device to address ethnic-racial discrimination in school environments. We work at High School No. 518 Carlos Fuentealba, in one of the neighborhoods with the largest Qom population in the city of Rosario (Argentina). The device, designed to guide academic and artistic research, uses performance as a methodological tool to investigate the African-Argentinean legacy and activate latent perceptions related to racism, a hidden and silenced issue in our country.
