Abstract

This essay aims to present the cultural diversities existing in society that are often non-diffuse. Independent artistic movements often trans-form society directly or indirectly. Independent cultural movements emerge in society by itself as a consequence of the lack of art offered by the state, besides signifying the expression of a population that has a voice su-ffocated by greater forces. The photos that will be presented below were intended to record important moments for the social groups in question. The photograph meaning ‘’writing of light’’ captures and passes time and space paralyzed by a technological machine. As a documentary photographer and graduated in history, I saw the political and social fabric that are included in the various ways of expressing themselves artistically in groups, specifically by marginalized groups.Independent artistic movements are those that occur without state initiative – the less there is a connection between the people and government to carry out the activities. Battles of rhymes, poetry recitals, open shows and street theater are examples of these movements. The main idea is to promote art and offer entertainment to the population, either becau-se there is no art offer to society or because the art offered to society is not liberating. Art must liberate and not imprison, it has to stand before the politics and social reality existing in cities. The various governments throu-ghout history have used art as a tool of liberation or repression, from Gre-ece to Nazi Germany, from the Roman Empire to the present day – some have freed for life, others have given circus to repress and others hunted artists. The reason is simple and cohesive, art can politicize and the owners of power know it. However, the population also has this knowledge. Offe-ring art and culture to marginalized populations that previously did not have access to education in a pleasurable way now begins to have. Lyrics of songs, poetry about life and society, theater criticizing reality, tends to transform society. The role of photography becomes essential: capturing the transformation along the different moments to record and have the evidence that movements doing people gather for art and social, cultu-ral and artistic transformation, making photography an important tool for the dissemination of culture.
