Resum
In recent decades, contemporary practices in art have approached the representation of wars from a point of view which is a turning point and allows us to carry out a targeted research focusing on the power of the image in the formation of collective imaginaries, as well as its capacity for agency and the emancipation processes that arise from such artistic images. On the other hand, this aim serves as a starting point for confronting the tensions and making visible the structures of power in geo-economic wars. This paper presents the main conceptual axes brought to light by the analysis of current artistic works related with the object of study, and manifests the concerns, achievements and conflicts of contemporary artistic practices that address these issues.
