Hands: The Theological-Aesthetic Language of Solidarity. Intuitions for a Symbolic Theology

Abstract

Three urban ministry research projects were carried out with displaced populations in Ciudad Bolívar (Bogotá, Colombia). These initiatives have allowed us to gather new insights and understanding about the imperative theological endeavour. This article intertwines theology with the symbolic world that represents the physicality of women whose bodies have become living stories and who, with the help of aesthetics, have become reading texts which opens possibilities to theological re -signification and integral salvation.
