A trav\u00e9s del arte puedes prescindir de los los idiomas, los territorios y plasmar el mensaje.<br>\n<br>\nEl arte te reta a salir de un espacio de confort y llegar a otras personas en la cotidianidad, una imagen puede provocar que el\/la que lo ve se cuestione o apropie de algo.\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 espera lograr con este premio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La pandem\u00eda a dejado huellas en quienes apostamos al arte y a vivir de forma independiente.
