Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes the challenges faced by women visual artists who engage in contemporary practices in the city of Villavicencio (Meta Department, Colombia). A qualimetric study was conducted around the discourse of nine artists from different generations. A semi-structured interview was designed, and their responses were analyzed following the principles of Thematic Analysis using Atlas.ti and clustering analysis through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the K-means algorithm, with the assistance of ChatGPT 4.0. The interview employed a historical-logical approach to examine the artists' representations of the past, present, and future of contemporary art production and the cultural system in the city. The analysis identified central categories related to the experience of artistic production, the role of cultural institutions, the social reception of their works, and gender condition. The findings reveal tensions between empirical and academic knowledge, as well as the appropriation of art as a tool for memory, social critique, and political agency. The persistence of structural barriers such as clientelism, institutional exclusion, and the public's limited critical education is also evident. The study concludes that, despite these limitations, the artists develop practices of symbolic resistance and promote new forms of legitimacy within the regional art field.
