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 timely. While aggressive nationalism is on the rise, many creative people see themselves as global citizens. The Venusian People Project, mentioned here recently, is a good example of artists demonstrating the absurdity of organizing states 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 contributions that arrived in Chile were collected by the students and will be on display on May 31st in Quinta Normal, a community in the metropolitan area of Santiago.
