Chile’s military dictatorship (1973-1990), headed by General Augusto Pinochet, was a period marked by extreme violence, repression and fear. Throughout Pinochet’s regime, Chilean photographer Paz Errázuriz photographed marginalized Chilean communities, including sex workers, psychaitric patients and homeless individuals. Through an investigation of Errázuriz’ work and the sociopolitical context in which she worked, this presentation explores the act of subversion through photography. Additionally, this presentation examines Errázuriz’ photography as an act of defiance that holds an important place in the historical memory of Pinochet’s dictatorship.
