Colección archivo fotográfico de la protesta en Chile 2019.

"This collection of photographs documents the social upheaval and crisis in Chile that began in October 2019. The nation-wide mass protests which went on steadily for months--only deterred by the restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic--were triggered by an increase in subway fare in Santiago, the capital of the country, by $30 pesos.... The force and brutality with which these protests were met, above all by the police (Carabineros de Chile), reignited public debate regarding human rights violations, in light of the country's traumatic history. These photographs, compiled by Alejandro Martínez Rodríguez and Camila Reyes Alé, document the multiple forms of visual resistance that emerged during the early months of protest (roughly from October to December 2019), from graffiti to larger-scale interventions, many of which were subsequently modified or destroyed.... The archive will continue to grow as additional contributions are received."
