Abstract

This article explores part of the graphic and pictorial work of Colombian artist Flor María Bouhot as a pedagogical text on sexual and cultural diversity, since it transcends the most immediate function of the image to declare, before the observer, a personal position or conviction and to evidence a social reality that deserves attention as well as memory, and that demands an attitude that we could call civilized by appealing to the different historical and current facts about otherness. Homosexuals, transsexuals, transvestites, prostitutes, Afro-descendants, Amerindians are protagonists in Bouhot's repertoire, not because it is a morbid catalog of “oddities” or outcasts, but on the contrary, they are people who like everyone else have a sine qua non space in social history, culture and art, a truth that unfortunately has been overlooked or even attacked by the majority or dominant sectors. The formation of women artists is also a pending matter of rigorous study in Colombia and that is outlined in this article in order to place Flor Maria Bouhot in the cultural panorama, in addition, her stages of study and teaching in various art academies and universities are succinctly.
