ARTE Y DES-INDUSTRIALIZACIÓN
Art and De-industrialization
De-iArt
The beginning of the research started with an encounter: Art and De-industrialization was a public seminar and performance festival that took place in different ports, coal and textile towns in the post industrial zone of Chile from 2018 to 2022. As an introduction of the theme, it explores the differences and particularities of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and the modern nations in Latin America. Also, considering the colonial dimension between Global North-South and the extension of this problem to the phenomenon of deindustrialization.
The result of this encounter was three books containing essays with documents and records alluding to the tension between different communities and the transformation of the landscape, with the collaboration of artists, activists, academics and independent researchers from Latin America, Europe and Africa.
In addition, it includes different performances in the public space connected to the topics of the research: human rights, food sovereignty, artist workers, good living, etc.
