La Venda
Editor
It gathers from a perspective the voice of women victims of human rights violations during the military regime. It is a proposal that transcends denunciation, delving into the reconstruction of the daily lives of these women, thus constituting a reflection on our society in the past and the unresolved present. It is a testimony of the courage of our women, who reconstruct the "Pieta" as the only form of pain in the Chilean imaginary.

Popsicles
Popsicles
Director
“This work is an interaction of the space, the symbols and the historical context in which I live as a woman on this side of the continent. It is a rosary of alarm, eternal and circular; the alarm of a woman who desires life, light, truth, and solidarity, but who instead sees and receives death and fear. It is a rejection of all that is destruction, and death, yet is depicted almost attractively as innocence.”
