Catholic University Andres Bello
The Center of Research and Humanistic Training in the Catholic University Andre Bello is dedicated to the production and spreading of knowledge with an interdisciplinary dimension. It gathers different knowledge from the Faculty of Humanities about speaking, in an experimental way, between the lines of research. Design has its own place in Visual Culture, a line that works like a theoretical-practical laboratory favorable for checking visual communication as aesthetics, a practice and a strategy favorable for innovation and social transformation.
