Research Project 1

Decoloniality: Challenges of Postcolonial Aesthetics – In this research, on the one hand, creative practices are observed by considering the resources and sociopolitical context of the cultural (re)production technologies and media effects. On the other hand, art is related to the universality of democratic ideals, aesthetics, and social reflections upon the cultural context in today’s globalized world. Numerous visual manifestations such as media, cinematography, art exhibitions, and visual culture aim to discuss cultural diversity. In this way, an investigation of non-Western nations that seek a break with hegemonic Western forms of globalization involving aesthetics is conducted. Therefore, the analysis of … Continue reading Research Project 1

Urban Design: Digital Age, Moving Images, and Visual Communication – This research project integrates the art and technology of producing images and its relationship with the social sciences and humanities.

This study explores space and time modalities in the interdisciplinary exchange between perception studies and cinematic methods, theories, and editing effects (montages of fragments of environmental and urban scenarios). The objective is … Continue reading Research Project 3

Environmental Aesthetics: Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development – What would the possibilities be for the continuous development and evolution of our environment following the implementation of creativity, techniques, and learning processes for problem-solving and improvement through design or architecture? Intriguing problems drive creativity and the development of methods to overcome the limits of ideas and thinking, which involve searching for greater understanding, knowledge, and, above all, a better human capacity to communicate and relate within our environments.
