Changes

About my university program of studies, I would change several things if it was about that, although I believe that the problems are in chain or effect I dominate, the decisions with respect to the branches that should or not have perhaps do not contemplate the plane or social context in which we are inserted like artists, it is the root of the problem and the as it is seen the art and the culture in Chile what must change. Taking into account that there is hope that this changes and of course from my own practice (visual arts) and from the arts in general can be achieved. The career that takes as academic degree Bachelor of Visual Arts with duration of eight academic semesters, daytime. Five years counting the year of thesis and memory. In the beginning I had more general branches of art, aspects that cover all artistic branches such as volume or color. After the semesters I became more specific in my search for knowledge and my own area of interest, choosing a workshop and an artistic specialty to achieve a consistent body of work, but this is where I think the branches that are in my net fall short in literary tools, autonomous work forms and branches that give us basic knowledge to apply for works to calls, more direction regarding international scholarships, exchanges or residencies to which you can apply. At least in everything I have participated externally in the artistic field has been own search, not with a guide from the university or teachers who dominate the field and practices or management to be exercised to emerge as an artist.

¡LEGALIZATION!

My opinion about marijuana and other drugs, talking about how behaviors and laws should be implemented in my territory, Chile. This considering that I am active consumer of the cannabis and I do not believe that this is a drug, but a plant with different properties, which I assimilate but to a healing plant, that does not make me dependent on her, nor it has addictive factors related to the consumption. Something that the society usually relates between the marijuana and other "hard" drugs is that they have a conductive thread, in the sense that it is believed that the marijuana takes to you to consume synthetic and strong drugs but in effect as they are it the cocaine and the ecstasy. In Chile these drugs are consumed commonly, but well it is known that in his majority they are addictive and by ignorance or badly management of consumption they arrive at excesses nonwished and often until the death. I believe that it is necessary to separate the drugs and his specific aims, the marijuana by its side would have to be legal for a long time since it is a natural resource but, and when implementing laws that endorse what the consumer puts to his body, mediating the consumption and the relation of quality v/s prices, would be everything seen from another point of view, with a vision that is based on the contemporaneousness and new forms to see something that before was taboo. Regarding synthetic drugs and their legalization, I believe that it should be carried out for various reasons, one of these is that consumption will continue to exist but in a clandestine manner and not in moderation, on the other hand, if safe consumption practices are implemented and more informed, many misfortunes will be avoided. *Last Wednesday the ONU recognized the medicinal properties of cannabis in a vote in Vienna of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the executive body on drug policy of the United Nations.
