Graffiti speak volumes in Chile`s protest crisis
(Artdaily.org)
 


A visitor wondering what the deadly unrest in Chile is about can learn a lot from the graffiti that has blanketed the capital`s streets. AFP has photographed some of the striking slogans and murals in Santiago as Chileans vent their rage at the government. Protests against a rise in traffic fares swelled into a general outpouring of rage at economic hardship, expensive education and healthcare and tight pensions. Many of the graffiti made a scrawled plea for `Dignity`. `They won`t keep us quiet any longer,` the slogans warn. `The status quo is slavery for us.` After starting three weeks ago, the demonstrations descended into deadly clashes between protesters and police. Twenty people have been killed in the unrest. UN human rights authorities are investigating allegations of police brutality.
