    Steering Committee.

    Scientific Committee


    Academic Committee

    At Human Horizons, we are interested in all human quests to think about the world we inhabit and the future of our realities. Human Horizons, as an intellectual endeavor, involves scrutinizing education, politics, participation, democracy, ethics, aesthetics, economics, science, ICTs, and other human forms that allow us to move through time in the tearing of voices, in limits or horizons. It is a linguistic adventure, without pretensions of intoxication, irradiated with several common threads that aim to give a look at language in its exogenous-endogenous processes, the impoverishment of human utopias, the environmental crisis, and the role of education in all these fields that constitute the planetary future. In the Aesthetic field, we are interested in holding international calls for post-contemporary art Human Horizons that manage to signify those realities that the Human Social Sciences fail to capture. If the contemporary is that which shares time and space, which converge in a joint production of meaning, the postcontemporary is that which not only interprets the statutory present of realities but is also interested in going a little beyond the normative symbolic. The postcontemporary is a break with what is given, it is a question about the unknown, whose times are announced and enunciated by politicians, economists, religious figures, sociologists, scientists, and philosophers, but it is also that which the arts in all their forms convey to us, whose expressions move us artists..
