Narrativas de dignidad: Cómo se construye el sujeto histórico afrocolombiano | Con Moisés Medrano

Discover how Dr. Moisés Medrano is transforming public policy and education in Colombia through cultural rights and the do-no-harm approach. How are ethnic and social imaginaries being reconstructed in Colombia? In this episode, we talk with Dr. Moisés Medrano, former Director of Populations at the Ministry of Culture, professor, and public administrator, about the value of being recognized as historical subjects, the implementation of the Afro-Colombian Studies program, and the urgent need to implement public policies that dignify the country's ethnic and linguistic diversity. In a deep and engaging conversation, Indira Serrano sits down with Dr. Moisés Medrano Bórquez to analyze the historical, institutional, and human challenges faced by ethnic communities in Colombia. From his childhood memories in Cartagena, guided by a sailor grandfather, to his large-scale management in the public and private sectors, our guest explains how literature, peripatetic teaching, and historical awareness become essential tools for dismantling colonial stereotypes. Through the concept of "failureology" in the face of indifferent leadership, the analysis of Transitory Article 55 of the 1991 Constitution, and the defense of cultural rights, this episode solidifies itself as a living lesson on the space of enunciation for Afro-descendant and Indigenous subjects. It is an open invitation to identify our own "intellectual mentors" and to transform social reality from everyday life.
