Monumento to the chilean women
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile 1, 2022-04) Guilisasti, Josefina; Puga, Cecilia; Velasco, Paula; Barreda, Bárbara
A recent study by the National Monuments Council of Chile concluded that only 4.7% of the monuments in the main Chilean cities are dedicated to women. This result highlights that, until now, public space has been created by and for the patriarchy. Thus, beginning to decolonize public space also means beginning to close this gap between male and female representation and even thinking beyond the binary gender. The winner of a competition for a monument to women in the Parque de Los Reyes, in Santiago, this proposal presents a sculpture that is not to be observed or surrounded but instead walked through protecting the viewer, without requiring distance. In this way it offers a different, perhaps less patriarchal, relationship between the monument and the public space. © 2022, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile 1. All rights reserved.
