Description
This article proposes a reflection on the transformative value of socially and politically engaged art created in non-formal contexts (Helguera, 2011; Trione, 2022), focusing on the emancipatory and caring potential of these artistic practices from a pedagogical-educational perspective.The experience of the transfeminist performances of the international collective Our Voice will be analysed as a case study based on real life events. The research was carried out thanks to participatory practices that allowed us to abstract theoretical points regarding the educational processes inherent to collective artistic practice (Freire, 2014).The study demonstrates how collective contexts can be fertile places for transpedagogical artistic activities (Helguera, 2011) which give life to a kind of art that conveys its human and social value, beyond aesthetics, thus becoming a tool for mobilizing and raising the awareness of its audience (Paz Rey et Korol, 2022 ).
