MORALES DOMINGUEZ, Mario Alberto. A Notion of Political Imagination derived from Cráter Invertido's Lavorare con lentezza. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.118, pp.91-126.  Epub 03-Nov-2021. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2021.118.2750.

The aim of this article is to propose a notion of political imagination from an iconological approach to a piece that has been elaborated and identified as political art. I start from an understanding of iconology based on the ideas of Georges Didi-Huberman to contrast it with the artwork Lavorare con Lentezza, a collective drawing of approximately 5 X 1.2 meters, produced by the Mexican collective Cooperativa Cráter Invertido, and presented at the Venice Biennale, 2015. There are three sections that include the moments of creation, exhibition and reception of the work respectively. At the same time, a definition of political imagination is drawn up in consonance with the references and derivations that each moment allows us. Finally, a notion of political imagi nation is proposed, which is in line with the case dealt with here; this is not however exhaustive, definitive or even exclusive of other proposals that may exist on the subject.
