The article addresses the scope of a methodology through the image and creative processes of art within the context of anthropological research in collaboration with art therapy on the aging processes in a group of women from the city of Quito-Ecuador. It includes a brief state of the question and a sample of the process, from where the image, the body and the story of life are located as points of encounter between disciplines. Concludes by highlighting the potential of art in the methodology and production of social knowledge, as it promotes dialogical and reflexive approaches between social agents and researchers; facilitates the activation of memories; offers other forms of narrative articulation; among others.
