This collection consists of 108 posters, 25 zines and ephemera created in response to the 2019 protests in Chile. The protests
were originally sparked by an increase in Santiago Metro's subway fare. The response manifested as an overwhelming and coordinated
effort of fare evasion, which quickly escalated to confrontations with Chile's national police force. The protests since evolved,
condemning increased costs of living, privatization, and inequality in the region. The posters and zines were authored by
a variety of independent artists and publishers and in extremely limited runs, this corpus serves as an artistic and contemporary
snapshot into the lives and realities of the protests. [Dealer's description]
