“Monuments and performances” will be the theme of the fourth session of the Chair for Peace at UIS

The Chair for Peace, Coexistence and Citizenship at the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) will hold its fourth session entitled “Monuments and Representations” on Friday, February 7, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at the UIS facilities in Bucaramanga (Agora Auditorium of the School of Human Sciences).

Mg. Fabio Castro Bueno, Bachelor of Social Sciences and Coordinator of the Oral History Collective in Colombia; and Mg. Roger Díaz, historian, professor and researcher in art and humanities will participate in the third session.

This session will address the study of monuments as a representation and transformation of the imaginary in the creation of new memories representing the past without them being reduced to a social inscription and symbolic construction.

This is a UIS –as an associate member of CAPAZ— initiative, through the Academic Vice-Chancellor’s Office, the School of Economics and Administration and the Oral Archive of Memory of Victims (AMOVI), supported by CAPAZ.
