Resumen
El arte contemporáneo emerge en el siglo XX y se destaca por el cambio de un paradigma, derivado de una nueva forma de vinculación entre el artista y la sociedad. Para apreciar tal relación, se procede a analizar cualitativamente algunas obras de una exponente de este movimiento, Regina José Galindo, a partir de un cuestionamiento y posterior interpretación sobre las razones que han originado sus producciones. Tal ejercicio requirió estudiar premisas teóricas procedentes de la sociología, la filosofía y la historia del arte. Las piezas seleccionadas refieren a temas asociados a la memoria, la mujer y las relaciones de poder. Además, muestran la empatía y la apropiación espacial como mecanismos de articulación social y revelan los alcances de sus propuestas: exponer a las personas oprimidas, interpelar al espectador y conceder valor al contexto.
