 POST:  HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE  Art history is a little known discipline, because it is not commonly taught in schools or universities as a compulsory subject. Despite this, if we understand the history of art as the history of images, we realize that we are in contact with this discipline much more than we think and therefore, it can also influence the world in some way. One of the ways that I believe that the history of art would benefit the world is the greater democratization of knowledge and access to this area that is related to almost all areas of the humanities. Either, with the formation of free tickets to museums or exhibitions, access to books or catalogs, art exhibitions open to the community.

 POST 6: WEBSITE  This time I will talk about an Instagram page related to the world of the arts, called "Separate Museum" destined to rescue little-known works (mostly contemporary) but with great iconographic value. https://instagram.com/museoaparte/ I like the page because despite having few followers, because the year 2020 was created, it has constant updates and every day it uploads new posts.

 POST 5: A PHOTO AND ITS STORY Photography is something that interests me a lot, I collect both digital and physical memories of my friends, family, pets or even food or flowers that I find in the street. I think it is a good way to capture moments and with them to remember them someday when going through the albums again.  I chose this photograph because of the work of Alfredo Jaar, a Chilean artist who is inspired by it to create his work. The authorship is by Kevin Carter, winner of the Pulizter award thanks to this photograph, capturing a vulture waiting for the death of a girl in Sudan 1993. It caused such a stir due to the lack of solidarity attributed to Carter that he ended up committing suicide some time later.
