Una herramienta inclusiva desde el arte | Wilmer Arley García | TEDxUniSabana


good
in the imaginary of popular culture
the artist is usually a character
little mythologized maybe there is a question
of cliché there thanks also to what
it happens in the television series
films
sometimes a character appears
be a little strange that talks about things
foreign
and sometimes it can be like that because
we are usually agents a bit subversive
and different from other contexts
people in their fields
but good for how I know that sometimes
we can be a little annoying or songs
I’m going to stop from another area one that
I like it a lot and which is the
popular culture is precisely a
ground that as an agreement for all
we all know today what is
going
and for this I want to show you the icons
Current Popular Culture
so then well they do not need
presentation I think all the
we know batman and iron man and good
in addition to the obvious that they have in
common them
and one of the most important elements to
my judgment is vulnerability the fact
that unlike other heroes
they have
a very developed human part because
that’s what those are human do not have
super powers or great abilities but
they act from since their defects have
personal problems have problems
morals and these are the things that most
they enrich it but good surely
all this you already knew him until
the moment I have not told you anything new
I want to tell you the story of another
character
not so famous but I think it ‘s
equally valuable not so ornate but
I think it ‘s very relevant for this
situation
our character one day was with his
parents at a fair here well known the
ego with fest a fair for children and
being in this fair is division the
children in the distance tried to approach from
them but the children that so of
immediately they rejected it
maybe he thought there was some reason
for this background
but then they did not pay attention
maybe so they were older not
we know anyway the return with
his parents his father opened a suitcase that
he brought an item and told him to take
put on your armor and go again with
them to see what happens next he went
with the children and immediately changed the
They changed their attitude
in a new person and they marveled
for how it was now because of how it looked
after they were at the fair
wandering several of the children the
they pointed 67 children who surrounded them in
that time they pointed and said look
mom that’s my friend who has an arm
from iron man or look mom
that is my friend who is like ironman
give the name of
his name is jose gabriel
well later I have it not brought
positive however
jose gabriel is a boy who presents
a very particular condition he lacks
of one of your arms and it’s a reality
for many children here in Colombia in
Latin America
they are children who are in
conditions of vulnerability by
socioeconomic factors by factors of
different situations
some subjected to problems of
bullying and this let’s say does not allow them
have a proper development
normally dads are the ones who suffer
much more for them
we have developed a technique
or a way to attack let’s say this
problematic in our corporation what
we are dedicated to making it work
of making prostheses with 3d printing and the
we thank some sponsors
some people who help us in this
work thanks to private companies or
natural people
Of course
some of these children
has suffered from certain conditions and
certain rejection I have heard some
anecdotes about
how many of your colleagues treat you
Sometimes adults participate in
these same judgments I have heard
anecdotes of children as for example
carlitos a boy who lives in scimitar
Santander a distant path in which
people because of the
deschooling or such ignorance
has undergone a transformation
negative to carlitos many times
they made accusations as he is cursed
he’s the devil’s son things like that alone
because he was missing one of his arms and the
people can be very harsh and very severe
with this kind of accusations
children who sometimes have a tendency to
play with their toys to take away the
arms and put the them one
anecdote of this is also a child that
he was doing this and his teacher asked him
Why did this
he told him is that a monster ate
my arm
and every child has a curiosity
different
jose gabriel he is today that
is in his last delivery of prosthetics and
he has already learned to handle it with a
finer motor
as you can also notice
I have been able to observe many times what
we propose is is a way to
that they overcome themselves
this tool sometimes from the
customization through fire to
through attachments through
utensils that make them feel like
as your hero your favorite character
has been very valuable to the process
of them because it touches their self-esteem touches
your own identity
but good in itself many of them
they have great capabilities
I have seen children without their two arms
they can assemble a complete rubik cube
children that without their legs with elements
Prosthetics can play soccer
that can play more than me even though I do not
I play my family nothing since soccer players
but I have good physique
chess player
the case of angel gabriel a child who
We visited recently in Peru and he also
has a great particularity is a child
that in spite of his condition he
it lacks its four limbs it does not
he is afraid na does not feel sorry for anything
he can talk to foreigners without
no problem and lives in an area
secluded from the city
he does not have trouble talking on the internet
speak in media to give interviews speaks
very easy with anyone already
from his own condition he motivates
to all who can because he
he understands his situation very well
and of course this is the case also of
some children that through their entity
health provider can obtain
some of these devices there is a
large quantity there is an immense majority of
children who suddenly can not access
them by their own conditions but
for those who can
they get to get a device like
this guy
a prosthetic hook or a forceps
crab stuff that suddenly one does not
it fits in your head how it can be
clear this part from a perspective
very functional and I will not tell you
lies these prostheses are very
functional but maybe they are thought
to some extent for adults
Sometimes a car can feel uncomfortable
but maybe it’s not such a problematic thing
but for a child who is entering his
school stage maybe 86 years
it’s kind of a bit critical not the same
parents suffer when they see their child with this
type of elements and it’s a way too
of victimizing calls them a lot the
attention but in a negative way
when we could have them call the
attention in a positive way
many dads feel terror seeing this
next to one of his children because
it seems a blunt object
and good of course we are also
we have worked the case of adults them
they look for another type of inclusion really
it’s a little more functional inclusion
in the realm that they want to be
useful again to society want
reintegrate maybe you do not want to call the
attention but they want to go back to work
they want to be people of one act again
actors of the everyday
and here we have a couple of examples of
people with whom we have worked
but of course this entails a great
responsibility not only the fact of the
personalization that we sometimes propose
but also the fact of the physical part
and functional
we have a team today
also with what we have
that has been nourished by the knowledge of
many people
we have from my profession since
the plastic arts maybe a focus
a little different
but this project was born from the
engineering mechatronics engineering
biomechanics we have biomedical engineering
of course we have psychology physiotherapy
occupational therapy we have assistance
technique in the development of elements
artisans and prosthetists from a field
classic because obviously neither what
we can leave behind
this is our our our
current team good there are two members
they did not arrive in time for the photo
one is in germany doing its
the other’s doctorate was getting married
those days
but they still arrived on time and then from
soon the envious will say that their
Photos
so
many times technology and
innovation are tools that go from
the hand and for us in print
3d we have found a great tool
that has given us impressive support
because to start the design can
play with all this and the kids that
they have a very high imagination that
they place a very high rod for our
work 3d printing has given us
many possibilities to do what
that they want
many times
have a creative thought when seeing the
things from another perspective
does not usually give other possibilities for
to do the things
to be working
in areas outside of the one that
corresponds to one also gives you a A
very high learning with respect to
other people to the other professionals
this project was inaugurated by an engineer
mechatronic and hello now he sometimes
he talks like an artist and I sometimes mean
more cruelly gridded more like a
mathematical people would not think that of
soon I am like the so-called
chirris that sometimes they name out there
creative thinking is not what
many times people associate
to know to draw to know to paint to know
sculpting is not that kind of thing that
they’re just tools are techniques in the
managing a job
it’s something purely technical
Creative thinking about everything
have ideas solve problems of
an interesting quick practical way
innovative
in a shocking way
if you can do it and you can
gather consider artists
and suddenly maybe the message that I
I can give you right now
this is a way in which we say I
I pose
or I raised a way to do the
difference with a reality that is
going
the possibility of stopping from another
angle
is what can give us a perspective
different and good this is my way of
do it this is the way I do it
what can be your tool
thank you very much
