Arte público, ciencia y patrimonio en el entorno rural: el caso de murales conciencia

Abstract

En un universo global donde el mundo rural tan solo se concibe como un entorno secundario, destinado preferentemente a la generación de recursos económicos y vacacionales, el arte se convierte en una herramienta válida para generar nuevos estímulos que permitan su recuperación como espacio de vida. Concretamente, el proyecto Murales Conciencia, desarrollado en Bailén (Jaén), plantea la creación de una colección de arte público a través de la utilización del propio municipio como continente, que se completa con un museo virtual. Artistas relevantes en el ámbito de la tipología mural, han conformado una colección única que se fundamenta en dos pilares básicos: el Patrimonio y la Ciencia. En este trabajo abordamos la construcción de un proyecto singular que, además de reconvertir estéticamente enclaves denostados de la localidad, ha favorecido la creación de ámbitos comunitarios y de memoria, repletos de conocimiento y responsabilidad social.

Sustainable Development Goals in the Andalusian olive oil cooperative sector: Heritage, innovation, gender perspective and sustainability.

“…Olive oil mills are gradually assuming the role of reservoirs of ethnographic values and knowledge about the rural territory, becoming attractive places to visit for people who view the rural environment as secondary (Ortega Alonso, 2020). The elements of museumization introduced in these spaces represent tools that give rise to new stimuli based on social responsibility and the conservation of tangible and intangible heritage (Ortega Alonso and Padilla Fernández, 2019). On the technological side, the interaction between digitalization and sustainability opens up great opportunities to shape a greener economy and society (Parrilla González and Ortega Alonso, 2021a), paving the way towards the achievement of the SDGs, although there is still little evidence on the contribution of digital paradigms to sustainability (del Río et al, 2020).…”

Museumization of olive oil mills: instruments for conservation of the heritage of the olive grove culture

“…The proposed new definition conceives the museum as a democratized, inclusive and polyphonic space for critical dialogue about the past and the future, which recognizes and addresses the conflicts and challenges of the present, while holding artefacts and specimens in trust for society, safeguarding diverse memories for future generations, and guaranteeing equal rights and access to heritage for all people (ICOM 2019). This trend advocates for the incorporation of concepts such as inclusion, to raise the visibility of the diversity of society and to be able to meet the needs of all audiences, as well as highlighting concepts such as transparency, dignity, justice, equality and well-being, underpinning the crucial role that museum professionals play in their respective societies (Ortega-Alonso & Padilla-Fernández 2019). In light of these arguments, we formulate the following propositions:…”
