Today I'm going to talk about someone that I admire: Patricia Hidalgo and Maria Teresa Maradiaga. These women are weavers of burlap. They invented a new way how to burlap in dictatorship, with few materials: burlap sacks, wool, and patchwork of cloth, because they were very poor. They are from Lo Hermida, a territory whos people organized to land grab and bulding their houses. In thoses years -1973- were a territory with a lot of problems. One was unemployment, so Patricia and Maria Terersa started to weavering, with the materials that were in their houses. In the beggining it was innocent weavers, only landscapes, but a little time after they began to represent problems and deficiencies of dictatorship, like the repression or disappearances of people. Also they represent the ways that the people organizated in the land grab to survive, like common pot. Representated daily life on land grab. When the tissues were ready , they sold it to "vicaria de la solidari...

Hi Today i'm going to talk about my favourite artist. Is very hard select only one artist or piece of art hehe. I wanna talk about of "Mural relieve", a sculpture made it for Federico Assler on 1982, located in Providencia in the bulding "Forum". first time I saw them was when I was like 4 or 6 years old. I remember that I acompanied my dad to pay health insurance on the bulding Forum. When i saw the sculpture i touched it and stayed a long time there. The sculpture consists of a big wall that has relief. Covers 220 square meters. this relieves are lines made of concrete distributed by big 7 plates. I dont know what the artist wanted to say, but when i saw i fell the lines are moving, so its seems as if the wall have movement. When I grew up, I found others sculptures of Federico Assler in Santiago, one in "park of sculptures", other in the GAM, and other in University in the faculty of arts. I like very much all of them but my favourite is "Mura...

Hi, Today I'm going to talk about my favorite picture, but isn't only one, are 3 pictures. In these photos you can see a cat in the first plane, is a small cat, in one of the pictures is loking the horizon, in other two is looking the camera. I took them like 3 months ago in a house of a friend because i wanna change my wallpaper of cellphone, so this cat came to me and put on my legs. The name of the cat is "China", I always ask to my friend why she is called china but my friend answered me that his brother chose the name. I think her name is "China" because her eyes are exorbitant. China is 4 years old, and the family of my friend picked up from the streets of santiago when she was very young. I like this pictures because they make me tender, so always when i see my phone i see China with her exorbitant eyes. see you next week!
