Magdalena Novoa will work with Pilpilco en el Corazón and Mesa Ciudadana de Lota, two Chilean grassroots organizations, to create an arpillera urbana reconstructing the disappeared town of Pilpilco. Arpillera urbana is a textile craft and method of visual storytelling that women used during the Pinochet dictatorship to denounce relatives’ disappearances. In 1976, Pilpilco, a coal-mining town in southern Chile, was erased from official maps and its residents displaced. Novoa will assist former residents with documenting the history of the town, and the resulting arpillera urbana will be exhibited during the El Pilpilcano Festival, when hundreds of former residents return to commemorate the town’s disappearance.
