Sumario:The following paper proposes to think about the centralconcepts related to art, aesthetics and politics. It is alsoabout the configurations that this scheme acquires in our country. I reflect on the expressions that occurredaround the 2001’s crisis and those that took place -andare taking place- in the crisis that followed the pandemic.Two interesting aspects that could organize theexercise of thinking about this relationship have to dowith: 1) the different views on the aestheticization ofpolitics, understood as a process inserted in a historicaltime; or, on the other hand, if we could think of it asan ontological question. 2) the central place occupiedby public space and the body from the new forms ofpolitical intervention called artivism.Briefly, I analyze the relationship between aesthetics,politics and art, from thinking about two key conceptualvariables: public space and bodies. Otherwise, I study adimension that turns out to be fundamental for thinking about the conditions of possibility: historical time. Inthis way, the crises of 2001 and 2020 are shaping different ways of breaking into public space, different ways of doing politics and expressing collectively. Times of great challenges are coming for society if we can twist the premise of «every man for himself» and if we can find the strategies to believe -once again- that the solution is collective and that art is a creative experience that has the power to create key political scenarios of resistance for community life.
