Oficios artesanales resignificados a través del proceso creativo con el lenguaje textil: una experiencia en la Educación Superior

摘要

This paper intends to explore the creative possibilities of university students through the use and practice of the textile language. It seeks the resignification of views on Mexican popular art and, in particular, on traditional and contemporary textile creations. We explore the perspective of the ABR (Arts Based Research) as the basis for our work process with the students. Among the results of the study, we find that manual making, craft and handmade practices contribute to raising awareness and constructing a critical view on the value of these activities in everyday life as well as considering them as an artistic and creative experience in itself. In addition, they develop in students some attitudes such as patience, collective work, concentration and the ability to recognize distinct aesthetics of the textile language.
