Pluralism and secularity: an imminent learning after the bicentennial

Abstract

A few months ago, the House-Museum from July 20 was put a varnishing day, where restored exhibits the famous "Vase of Llorente" that gave rise to one of the most important stories of the celebration of the independence of Colombia and its political process as a Republic. The fact to preserve that piece "broken" shows us the need to learn how to recreate the time to be aware of the history of what an object can mean: distinction and exclusion, not to mention segregation and repudiation of the difference in a context of tension of the Catholic Church in relation to the secular State in Colombia.
