Santiago, with its deeply evolved and extremely active underground
graffiti scene, bursts at the seams with an abundance of
eye-popping, jaw-dropping murals. Stencil graffiti artist Lord K2
documents 14 neighborhoods within the capital of Chile with his
arresting photography and intimate conversations with local
artists. Through more than 200 images and 80 interviews, learn how
street art was influenced by American, European, and Brazilian
graffiti and how its evolution runs parallel to the political
history of the nation itself. During the Cold War, nationalist
muralist brigades spread socialist idealism through symbols of
power and oppression. Santiago's repressed lower classes gradually
usurped the art form, and murals eventually became a weapon of
resistance. This vibrant city, with its array of distinct cultural
districts, now invites you to experience its fascinating and
tightly knit artistic community that has flourished since the fall
of Pinochet's dictatorship in 1990.
