La resignificación del patrimonio arquitectónico a través del arte. Una visión contemporánea en Zacatecas y Jalisco

This research demonstrates how art can rejuvenate and preserve architectural heritage, showcasing the transformative power of contemporary artistic interventions. By comparing two UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Rafael Coronel Museum in Zacatecas and the Cabañas Cultural Institute in Guadalajara—the study reveals that repurposing these structures for modern cultural activities not only safeguards their historical significance but also embeds them deeper into societal narratives. The analysis highlights how such resignification reflects evolving worldviews, exposing both dominant perspectives and dynamic social changes across generations. Through a comparative approach, the research underscores the potential of art to revitalize heritage sites while challenging traditional dogmas, offering a model for adaptive conservation that balances preservation with contemporary relevance.
