The methodological revision that is presented in this work, addresses an analysis of three artistic works by Marco A. Alvarado, focusing on the intersection of teaching and geopolitics at the university level. The first one links a period of personal and cultural transition, highlighting its relevance during the government of León Febres Cordero and the alignment of Ecuador with the Monroe doctrine. The second, uses words from major and minor languages intertwined, representing the distances between learning and the truth, challenging the term "Latinoamérica" and redefining it by inserting the Shuar word "tiishiraiti", generating reflections on language as a tool of subordination or self-determination. Thirdly, he uses letters cast in cement to fuse the words "pupitre" and "murid", exploring the infantilization of university education and the spiritual search for knowledge. This exercise proposes a reflection on the influence of supranational directives on education, highlighting the passion of social actors and criticizing globalist trends that seek to configure an education obedient to opaque agendas.
The artistic proposals are used as didactic elements for a critical reflection on university education in visual arts, highlighting its interconnection with geopolitics, national identity, and cultural influences, raising relevant questions about educational autonomy in globalized contexts.
