Hello classmates, in this post I’m going to talk about the student movement present that it’s happening to national level. But I don’t speak about the puntual problematic, topic that all of us as students we know very well. So I’ll talk specifically about something that has been very salvageable in this period, which are the ways creative that students have used for to communicate the demands and petitions into the rest of chilean society, with the object of to capture by a peculiar form the attention of the people, and thus to denounce the present crisis that the educational system have. These creative and peaceful protests are a lot, called “urban interventions” by sociologists, for example the Flash Mobe; sketches; mass suicides; parades with costumes, floats and giants puppets; frozens; kisses; videos clips and covers of many songs with changed lyrics; etc.
Each of this mass manifestations are planned and made by group small of students in a first time, but trough of the social website they are spread until the point of be massive and this way they can to collect a remarkable number of people in a time and place determined. The audio visual manifestations have another way to get, that are the “collective”, which are groups more small composed for students that know very well the techniques of art audio visual, like cinema and TV students, of music, of theater, of dance, etc. One remarkable group of many these to level of University is the “Funa Collective”, which belong of our faculty (FAU), and it has made a videos very emotional for show the reality of this inequality that exist, works that have been very well criticized for the nationals mass media.
My favourite urban interventions are the Flash Mobe, specially “Thriller por la Educación” (24/06), as the big hit of Michael Jackson, y “Axe pela Educaçao” (22/07), a mix of many songs of Axe Bahía and Porto Seguro, and whose videos are in the website Youtube.
Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.
