This is carried out on the basis of the analysis of two projects by Santiago Robles: Seis comidas compartidasʺ (2015) and Reparadoraʺ (2016). The first essay, written by Balam Bartolomé, refers to the antecedents of the figure of the artist in our culture and his functions in the public sphere. In the second, in charge of César Cortés-Vega, political and economic factors are described that reveal the current configuration of collaborative art. In the third, research of Karina Ruiz, it analyzes the urban environment of Mexico City and the different tensions that exist between its users and the discourses of power. In the fourth, authorship of Miguel Torres, a historical category is updated that opens us to the experience of a current artistic practice that intends to recognize and value diversity.
