The Aesthetics of the Social Rule of Law: The Case of Parque Biblioteca España in the City of Medellín

Abstract

This article deepens and exemplifies the relationship between aesthetics, ideology, and politics by studying a case of aesthetic intervention in public space: the Parque Biblioteca España Project in Medellín, Colombia. In this way, from a qualitative methodological approach using mixed research instruments, this work will lead us to observe how the aesthetics of the Social State of Law was used as an aesthetic/political tool to confront social exclusion in Medellín.
