A photo-illustrated record of Chilean protest art, along with
reflections on artistic antecedents, global protest movements, and
the long shadow cast by Chile's authoritarian past. From October
2019 until the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, Chile was convulsed
by protests and political upheaval, as what began as civil
disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement.
Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the
murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became
ubiquitous in Chilean cities. Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric
Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from
their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with over
150 photographs taken throughout the protests. Additional photos
will be available on the publisher's website. From the
introduction: In the conclusion, we take stock of the crisis of the
nation-state in the contemporary era. This chapter brings events
into the present moment, noting the ways President Pinera took
advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reclaim the streets of
Santiago, a phenomenon echoed in countries across the globe. While
most of the global protest movements were forced to go underground
(or into the ether), the Black Lives Matter movement surged in the
United States and drew massive amounts of support both domestically
and abroad, suggesting a continued wave of grassroots protests. We
close with reflections on the continued relevance of walls in a
virtual world, the testimonial role that protest graphics play, and
the future outlook for revolutionary movements in Chile and
worldwide.
