Chile | 07:25 | 2023

What began as a protest against the increase in the price of public transport turned within a few days into an unprecedented popular revolt against neoliberal policies in Chile. After months of protest, Santiago was filled with rubble, graffiti, and artistic interventions that showed the deep discomfort of the population with the structures of society. In this project I reconstruct Plaza de la Dignidad (the epicenter of the protest) and its surroundings using 3D scans and point clouds. In the context of the protests, hundreds of Chilean women appropriated the hoods, which became a symbol of their protest for equality but have a new identity factor.
