Title: Una cartografía extraña
Description: This book by artist Lucía Egaña Rojas and outstanding feminist, academic, curator and researcher Paulina E. Varas, is a cartography of the experience of physical displacement, including off-center and delocalized views around Chile by female Chilean artists, curators and creators residing, or who would have resided abroad. These narratives go beyond artistic practice, it investigates a type of sensitive and social materiality at the same time, which does not aim at the analysis of cultural production but rather the emotional elaborations of history and politics from the singularity that every position has. history of a person. The book includes stories by different authors. All authors were invited to participate in an email "We also wanted to ask you if you can add names of Chilean women in the diaspora that come to mind while you read or narrate your migrant experience. As the number of interviews we are doing in this project is only fifteen, we would like to be able to add a cartography of names that we have not been able to interview, but that in some way have been braided and related to the stories we are collecting.".
