I would like to share with you some of the artistic practices that, in the context of recent central america, work towards intervening in the public sphere. From printed publications to internet based actions, these projects try to interfere with the dominant structures of representation, and in a way, extend the horizon of "the public" realm. There is an essential communicative component in these projects where the function of the artist overflows towards practices such as edition, communication, and management, among others. Besides being grounded in collaborative processes, these projects foster and encourage an active participation from the public who, in many cases, become co-authors of the work. In this sense, these are practices that activate new processes of subjectivity. I would like to present three examples that in their specificity, give us an account of their strong political dimension.
