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!

Hello everybody Today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite albums: Bello Barrio of Mauricio Redolés. This album is from 1987, has 20 songs, that 9 are poems. Redolés is a chilean musician born in 1956.   When I was in 2do medio, I found this album because a teacher taught us a poem called "No importa" of Redolés , I liked it very much, so i wanted in the internet. The poem is in the album "Bello Barrio" with others poems and songs. I like this album because has a lot of identity of chileans. like "ya no tengo" or "chilean bussines" , or "blues de santiago". I have a lot of anecdotes with this album. I remember too, when I met one of my best friends of university, one of our first conversations started because i showed her the song "nutrias en abril", she laughed a lot and we became friends. xD See you next week!

Hello, Today I'm going to talk about my favorite piece of technology: my laptop In my first year of university I needed a new computer, because I used a very old laptop from my mom, this had the screen separated from the keyboard. One day did not turn on again. I n my birthday my dad gave me a new laptop to do my university stuff. I like my laptop because I can work in photoshop or programs to make videos without being stuk. M y laptop and I had bad and good times. A year ago, I went down the stairs with my laptop in my hands when my ankle bent. I fell down but my laptop didn't have any repercussions. But now, during this week , had trouble turning it on. In December of 2016, my laptop had a virus, I was very worried, I downloaded a lot of programs to kill the virus, but the only solution was to format it. I think without laptop my life would similar, i don't use too much, only it would complicated to do my english homework. S ee you next week my laptop <3 ...

Hello everybody When I was a little girl I wanted to be a lot of things, like doctor, forensic surgeun, vet, teacher, and others, but always since I was 4 years old drawing is my favorite thing. I decided to study plastic arts when I was in my last year of school, before that I wanted to be a sociologist, but that was because my parents influenced me, but they never put problems to me for deciding to study arts.  So now I'm studying plastic arts, and I like it very much. I never get bored, only tired of work and work. I'm in my 5th semester, and I'm learning sculpture and ceramics. When I finish to study I would like to study pedagogy in another country, also still studying ceramics. I would like to work teaching arts in different places of Chile. See you next week!!! bye bye

Hi, I'm Ignacia from Santiago of Chile.I was born on April 18th, 1996, so I'm Aries. I like to go outside of Santiago because I have never lived in another region or country, so I'm bored of the same landscapes. I'm studing Arts in University of Chile since 2014, I like ceramics and sculpture. And I'm in English level 3. My family is small, I have only one brother, He is very funny, always He is making us laugh. My mom is funny too, with her I see a lot of movies, the last we saw was one of Woody Allen, but i fell asleep in the middle. Sacha is a dog that lives with us, it's eleven years old, is fat and beatiful. I love Sacha. In my free time I like to go to the mountains because you can see the city of another perspective. Also I like to walk, so if I have time and energy I try to go to University walking, it's only 50 minutes! haha. Thanks for reading my blog! Bye!
