Abstract

This article describes some of my reflections I made on the follow-up that I personally conducted for two months on the collective work conducted by La Lleca within the detention center for minors in Mexico City . This collective’s radical strategy is the proposal to link political and activist art with affective aspects and thus subvert the representation / selfrepresentation of prisoners and so, as far as possible, transform subjectivities in situations of detention. This strategy is known as aesthetic education, where La Lleca is only one of the many souls who “encourage” the project that is so difficult: social transformation in postmodern times.
