Perspectives of Global Citizens

Broma Arte Correo is the pseudonym of an artist who teaches art and art history in Santiago de Chile. Last year, he ran an art call for submissions with the theme mi país (my country).

The theme could not be more topical. While aggressive nationalism is once again on the rise, many creative people see themselves as global citizens. The Venusian People Project, which was recently reported on here, is a good example for artists that show just how absurd the organization of states is in the face of global threats.

Among the works on display is a photomontage by Gerald Jatzek, that uses a military cemetery to depict the recurring tragedy that results from the combination of imperialism, chauvinism, and subservience.

The postal contributions that arrived in Chile have been collected by students an will be on display on May 31 in Quinta Normal, a commune in the Santiago Metropolitan Region.
