"Dignity Square" by Debbie Aillapán 
  

At the centre of a web of buildings that make up Santiago of Chile, among the Mapocho River and the Art Déco style “Turri Building”, there is placed the popularly called “Plaza Italia” which, over the years has become an urban and social landmark. There, the main streets of the city converge. It is there the point in which we can identify a division between the poor districts and the privileged districts. It is there where located all the national demonstrations.
Since the last October (2019), in full swing of “social outbreak” and due to the popular demands emerged this landmark was renamed as “Plaza Dignidad” (Dignity Square). This square truly became a fighting ring where the protesters confronted armed police, where they people fight the police using saucepans, where some people sacrifice their eyes on the hands of the police to finally succeed for the dignity of the Chilean.
