Cultural production processes of Bolivian illustrators, @heyvalinski, @unatalcarlota, @marcotoxico y @phuyu.no, in the creation of works published on Instagram

Abstract

The study presented below explains the development of the cultural production processes of Bolivian illustrators in the creation of works published on Instagram. The cases of four illustrators are specifically taken, Valeria Blacutt (@heyvalinski), Carla Soliz (@unatalcarlota), Marco Guzmán (@marcotoxico) and Nicaela León (@phuyu.no). The research, in a first stage, explains these production processes from three stages: the conception of the idea for a work, the productive routines, and the technological uses, referring to the means of production and dissemination. Lastly, an approach to the current situation of illustration in Bolivia is made based on the perceptions of the four illustrators.
