- Social Enterprise- Crónica del GraffitiIn 2014 I founded Crónica del Graffiti with the objective of highlighting and informing about Chilean urban art and artists, giving recognition to their work and changing the preconceptions and prejudices often associated with them. Such an endeavor involved researching artists, styles and events in order to select urban artists and events to be showcased; deciding on approaches to interview street artists and sometimes conducting such interviews; leading a multidisciplinary team in creating meaningful and engaging context to upload to instagram and facebook. It also entailed a high degree of tact, as it involved communicating and working with people from very different backgrounds (from government officials, to corporations, to street artists themselves). It also required an acute understanding of the public we were writing for and how to expand our audience to more people.

Although the house was originally built for him and his family, during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship it became a torture center; when democracy was restored the house was abandoned, and later became an iconic squat house. The project has been developed with Corporación del Patrimonio Religioso y Cultural de Chile, a corporation that aims to rescue Chile’s cultural and historical heritage, and that has the rights to the house.
