| description |
In Chile, the irreversible socio-environmental degradation of five "sacrifice zones" is the legacy of neoliberal policies of irresponsible industrialization and firstization of the economy. The aggressive extractivism suffered by these areas, ignores and demolishes values and lifestyles different from the dominant development model. Local populations in resistance have found in artistic actions, such as murals, music and performance, a way of recognition and restoration, which to date has been little theorized.
Our aim is, therefore, to analyze artistic expressions as promoters of relational values towards the restoration of areas degraded by the accumulation of transnational capital. Empirically, we study the Quintero and Puchuncaví Sacrifice Zone (ZSQP), in the Valparaíso Region. In the ZSQP, pollution not only affected the livelihoods of traditional economies (fishing and agriculture), but also devalued local history, traditional identity and practices, and the social fabric. After analyzing 35 interviews with activists and artists in the ZSQP, we examine two transformative aspects of the artistic practices: the potential of artistic representation and, on the other hand, the experience of the creative act.
The results show that through the experience of artistic actions, values degraded by industrial development are promoted, especially memory, identity and social cohesion. The material dimension of art restores spaces and relationships, by placing bodies and imaginaries made invisible by industrial development. In conclusion, we highlight that the relational potential in the experience of both its content and its context. In this way we contribute both to the literature on art committed to the socio-environmental crisis, as well as to theories on the transformation of degraded areas. |

En Chile, la irreversible degradación socioambiental de cinco zonas de sacrificio es el legado de políticas neoliberales de industrialización irresponsable y primarización de la economía. El extractivismo agresivo que sufren dichas zonas, desconoce y abate valores y estilos de vida distintos al del modelo de desarrollo dominante. Las poblaciones locales en resistencia han encontrado en acciones artísticas, como murales, música y performance, una vía de reconocimiento y restauración, que hasta la fecha ha sido poco teorizada. Nuestro objetivo es, pues, analizar las expresiones artísticas como promotoras de valores relacionales hacia la restauración de zonas degradadas por la acumulación de capital transnacional. Empíricamente, estudiamos la Zona de Sacrificio Quintero y Puchuncaví (ZSQP), en la Región de Valparaíso. En la ZSQP, la contaminación no solo afectó el sustento a las economías tradicionales (pesca y agricultura), sino que también devaluó la historia local, la identidad y prácticas tradicionales, y el tejido social. Tras analizar 35 entrevistas realizadas a activistas y artistas en la ZSQP, examinamos dos aspectos transformadores de las prácticas artísticas: el potencial de la representación artística y, por otro lado, la experiencia del acto creativo. Los resultados muestran que mediante la experiencia del arte se promueve valores degradados por el desarrollo industrial, especialmente la memoria, la identidad y la cohesión social. La dimensión material del arte restaura espacios y relaciones, al situar cuerpos e imaginarios invisibilizados por el desarrollo industrial. En conclusión, destacamos que el potencial relacional del arte se encuentra en la experiencia tanto de su contenido como de su contexto. Contribuimos así tanto a la literatura sobre arte comprometido con la crisis socioambiental, como a teorías sobre transformación de zonas degradadas. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
