Estética y política. Arte y resistencia de mujeres mayores activistas de Chile

Abstract

Women's ageing has been an invisible life process, equated with men's old age. In Chile, this phenomenon was exacerbated by the Pinochet dictatorship and the establishment of the neoliberal model that is still present. With the 2019 protests, a group of older women mobilizes by creating embroideries that claim fundamental rights of which they have been deprived. This study analyzes their embroideries as a visual tool, performing other possibilities of relating to the world and to people from their own trajectories, proposing transformations for the new constitution.
