Abstract
This research entitled "Witral’s Didactic Strategies: A Decolonial Perspective for Visual Arts Teachers" promotes critical intercultural reflexivity, to advance in the decolonization of knowledge in Chile. To achieve this, it was used a cultural aesthetic object wich has a strong, symbolic meaning for the Mapuche peoples, called Witral (loom). Reflexivity in practices is relieved from the logics of absence, which allowed decolonizing the practice itself from a deconstructive orientation. It was evidenced how cultural hegemony inivisibilizes cultural manifestations and world understandings of indigenous peoples. It presents a case and examples of their discourses and blogs, as evidence that the decolonization of practices and thought is a daily task of reconstruction and reflection. In this genuine dialogue, beliefs and values that respond to the logic of invisibility, negation and annihilation of another, and his culture are put into play. It is imperative that women professors carry out a process of reflexivity to move towards greater social justice, with recognition of cultural diversity and transformation of practices, which consider education as a right of all peoples.
