Art, culture and daily life in the conurbano (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). descriptive-analytical notes on the intersection between inequality and territory

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on the discussion between art and city based on the cultural production that emerges in the urban peripheries. In particular, the ones originated in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. For this purpose, I analyse a variety of artistic practices of a social and cultural organization known as Popular Library La Cárcova. The aim is to present forms in which art is embodied in these territories. To this end, I present the study of the Province of Buenos Aires still as an incognita. Secondly, I introduced the context of the organization. And finally, I analytical and empirical tensions in the productions and interventions of the chosen actors. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to contribute to the debates on artistic productions in the urban peripheries, trying to transcend those that exhaust the understanding of art under the conceptions of "the aesthetic" and "the legitimate".
