Abstract
This paper explores the origins, reference points and reconceptualization of the mediation and contemporary art practices, as actions located in the context where they serve. Situated mediation is understood as the one which carries out projects apart from individual, capitalist and neoliberal interests; the one which escapes from banal educational practices and the kind of mediation which considers the context (people and territory) where it takes place. In order to argue this mediation based on contemporary art practices, we revisit the foundation of activism and its connection as a political act with the participatory processes and the human rights in relation to the arts. Finally, we make a selection of references and international art projects which fit in this argument, but from a de-colonial, anti-racist and activist positioning inherent to the situated mediation considered.
