This publication is a rather belated tribute to the cartoonist Luis Fernando Rojas Chaparro, possibly the main visual chronicler of nineteenth-century Chile as it moved from the horrors of the War of the Pacific to the celebrations of the Centenary of the Republic. Strictly speaking, this is an initiative that seeks to give visibility to the pioneering work he carried out as a graphic reporter and caricaturist, in times when these "modern" activities and trades lacked recognition and social validation.
This publication rescues the memory engraved on the walls of the avenue that was the protagonist -in Santiago- of the demonstrations during the social uprising in Chile, 2019. A journey through 2.4 km was recorded from Plaza Dignidad to the government palace, La Moneda. 136 photographs preserve the messages shouted in the streets as echoes of the social demands, a few days before their censorship. It is supported by more than 50 texts by people of different ages and fields of knowledge, opening up perspectives and conversation. And also this new edition includes full color images and illustrated iconography.
The book is an invitation to travel new paths for design framed by ethics of more-than-human coexistence that breaks with the unsustainability installed in the designs that outfit our lives. While today, more than ever, the speed and radicalness of socio-environmental changes make it increasingly challenging to be part of them –as Bruno Latour says–, design cannot be a mere spectator, nor can it continue to replicate clientelist and instrumentalist strategies for relating to the world.
An invitation to explore the Chilean identity through the most diverse manifestations of design. Included here are, among many others, the graphic, textile, industrial, architectural, audiovisual and artisanal aspects that have been developed from our pre-Columbian past to the present day. Edited by the designer and curator Patricio Pozo, is the product of a collective work that rescues works of architectural and historical design as well as everyday expressions.
