In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily changed our book manufacturing process so that books can be printed, as ordered, at national and international distribution centers. This change in process allows us to keep our books available and our authors paid, but it does result in a lower quality color book. When this crisis is over, we will resume selling this title in its original high quality edition.

Guisela Latorres Democracy on the Wall: Street Art of the Post-Dictatorship Era in Chile documents and critically deconstructs the explosion of street art that emerged in Chile after the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, providing the first broad analysis of the visual vocabulary of Chiles murals and graffiti while addressing the historical, social, and political context for this public art in Chile post-1990.

Exploring the resurgence and impact of the muralist brigades, women graffiti artists, the phenomenon of open-sky museums, and the transnational impact on the development of Chilean street art, Latorre argues that mural and graffiti artists are enacting a visual democracy, a form of artistic praxis that seeks to create alternative images to those produced by institutions of power. Keenly aware of Latin Americas colonial legacy and deeply flawed democratic processes, and distrustful of hegemonic discourses promoted by government and corporate media, the artists in Democracy on the Wall utilize graffiti and muralism as an alternative means of public communication, one that does not serve capitalist or nationalist interests. Latorre posits that through these urban interventions that combine creativity with social action, Chilean street artists formulate visions of what a true democracy looks like.
