La mujer en el código de representación católico y la censura artística Proceso de censura artística a la exposición “Mujeres Ocultas” en la ciudad de Bogotá 2014 a través de las voces de la artista, el Museo Santa Clara y Voto Católico Colombia

Abstract

This investigative process stems from the need to reflect on the artistic censorship process carried out by Orthodox Catholic organizations. This process is related to the construction from the religious hegemonic discourses of certain codes of representation of the sexuality of women, which are still in force. The attempt at artistic censorship happened in August 2014 at the Santa Clara Museum, formerly the Santa Clara church convent founded in Santa Fe de Bogotá by Archbishop Hernando Arias de Ugarte, but which until 1647 was built by Matías de Santiago for the purpose of that the feminine religious community of the Poor Clares inhabit the place. Through a sociological view without ruling out interdisciplinary elements, this thesis aims to challenge the great influence of the Catholic religious vision in the processes of artistic censorship, bearing in mind that the exhibition aims to sacralize female sexuality, since according to the artist it has been hidden and guarded mainly by conventual and married life from the context where she starts off as New Granada to do her work and where it will be explained in detail later.
