Description: Academics of the School of Architecture of the University of Bío-Bío, architect Hernán Barría Chateau and workshop studio in Urbanism and Architecture Azócar Catrón (Ricardo Azócar Ulloa and Carolina Catrón Lazo) exhibited the installation "Fragil" in the third version of "Work in Progressʺ (WIP, 2019), of the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urban Studies of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, in an initiative that brought together designers, artists and architects around the concept of interculturality. The installation is composed of a wooden air cargo box. Inside the box there is also a mass of clothes, which makes it an uncomfortable interior. For the community of Little Haiti, a northern neighborhood of Haitian exiles in Concepcion (Chile), this box means the complete material patrimony of four families that have migrated from a politically unstable country in search of a better life,ʺ (HKB Translation) --Page 94. The catalogue compraises the letters sent by Haitian exiles to the Asociación Sociocultural Haitianos in Concepcion and the opinion columns from two local newspapers as part of the research carried out on the subject and it also graphically documents the assemblage of the work of art.
