Resumen
Mi investigación, titulada "Cuando el color de la piel habla", aborda el endorracismo
en la sociedad peruana, un fenómeno que se manifiesta en la reproducción de
estereotipos raciales y la normalización de jerarquías sociales impuestas. A pesar
de la diversidad étnica y cultural del país, persisten profundos prejuicios que afectan
la vida cotidiana. El objetivo general de este proyecto artístico es desafiar el
endorracismo, cuestionando normas y promoviendo la justicia social e igualdad.
Para lograrlo, se plantea crear un espacio de confrontación visual para reflexionar
sobre la aspiración racial y los estándares de blanqueamiento. Asimismo, se
desarrollarán las series fotográficas "Modelos de Moda" y "Personaje de Clase
Alta", vinculando el blanqueamiento con la belleza y el prestigio social.
Complementariamente, se realizará una instalación participativa "¿Quién soy?",
que invita a la reflexión sobre la identidad y el endorracismo. La metodología
combina investigación y creación, integrando teoría y experimentación artística a
través del autorretrato y la fotoperformance. Utilizo mi propio cuerpo como lienzo
para representar y cuestionar, de manera irónica, los estereotipos de belleza y
clase. Este enfoque ha demostrado su efectividad al generar una reflexión crítica
sobre el endorracismo y la identidad. Se concluye que el arte es una herramienta
eficaz para desafiar el endorracismo y promover la igualdad.
My research, titled "When Skin Color Speaks," addresses endoracism in Peruvian society, a phenomenon manifested in the reproduction of racial stereotypes and the normalization of imposed social hierarchies. Despite the country's ethnic and cultural diversity, deep-seated prejudices affecting daily life persist. The general objective of this artistic project is to challenge endoracism, questioning norms and promoting social justice and equality. To achieve this, a space for visual confrontation will be created to reflect on racial aspiration and whitening standards. Additionally, the photographic series "Fashion Models" and "High-Class Character" will be developed, linking skin whitening to beauty and social prestige. Complementarily, a participatory installation, "Who Am I?", will invite reflection on identity and endoracism. The methodology combines research and creation, integrating theory and artistic experimentation through self-portraiture and photoperformance. I use my own body as a canvas to ironically represent and question beauty and class stereotypes. This approach has proven effective in generating critical reflection on endoracism and identity. It is concluded that art is an effective tool for challenging endoracism and promoting equality.
