Title: De aquí a la modernidad
Description: The exhibition provides extensive reflection material on the ideals of progress that have settled in Chile since the mid-19th century. Under the curatorship ofGloria Cortés Aliaga, the exhibition seeks to unravel  how artists approached modernity from various points of view: from the complexity of a period that meant both an industrial heyday and urban development, and an accelerated change from the relationship with work, land, traditions and customs. Thus, topics such as rural-urban migration, wage union demands and the acculturation of the peoples are represented by authors from different eras and with different techniques, revealing how through their artistic work they portrayed the real world.
