摘要
我们都在学习和忘却的过程中。我总是听说,一旦学生错误地学习了一个概念,就很难重新教授它——我认为忘记这个概念也是如此。我们是有习惯的生物,必须慎重地努力去做这类工作。谁将带头冲锋?如果哥伦比亚有什么迹象的话,那就是年轻人将继续推动全球社会忘掉过去。就像2020年“黑人的命也是命”(Black Lives Matter)夏季抗议活动在美国和世界各地发生的情况一样,年轻人是遗忘的催化剂——而艺术往往是他们的媒介。我从这次经历中得到的最喜欢的概念之一是Deja Tu Huella。在拉丁美洲文化中,这个短语包含了用你独特的个性突破界限的行为,翻译成英语是“留下你的印记”。我目睹的其中一个青年艺术展览名为Deja Tu Huella,展示了青年对哥伦比亚未来的期望,也许是他们自己对改善社会的贡献。我喜欢这个短语的特殊性和以行动为导向的本质,它似乎在拉丁美洲文化的结构中相当根深蒂固。还有什么能比努力忘掉过去并将其传承下去,从而为社会的更大福祉留下自己的印记更深刻呢?
Learning Unlearning: Deja Tu Huella: Youth Art And Unlearning In Colombia
We are all on a journey of learning and unlearning. I’ve always heard that it’s more difficult to re-teach a student a concept once they’ve learned it incorrectly - and I think the same is true for unlearning. We are creatures of habit, and must make a deliberate effort to do this type of work. Who will lead the charge? If Colombia is any indication, it’s the youth who will continue to push global societies to unlearn. Just as it was here in the United States and around the world during the Black Lives Matter summer protests of 2020, youth are the catalysts for unlearning - and often, art is their medium. One of my favorite concepts that I gleaned from this experience is the idea of Deja Tu Huella. In Latin American cultures, this phrase embraces the action of pushing boundaries with your unique individuality and translates to “leave your mark” in English. One of the youth art exhibits I witnessed was entitled Deja Tu Huella and featured youth contributions of what they hoped to see in Colombia’s future - perhaps their own contributions to the betterment of society. I love the specificity and action-oriented nature of this phrase, and it seems to be fairly embedded in the fabric of Latin American cultures. What could be more profound than doing the hard work of unlearning and passing that on, thereby leaving your mark for the greater wellbeing of society?
