“The Mapuche are people who defend nature,” says a child as he draws with colored pencils on white paper. “The Police,” he adds later, “fix the problems shooting.” Everything happens in a video that the Chilean photographer <\/span>Cristobal Olivares <\/b>built by superimposing images taken in Mapuche territory with children’s drawings made by its protagonists. <\/span>The Eternity of tomorrow<\/span><\/a> was nominated for\u00a0<\/span>2021 Digital Storytelling Contest, Short, it won the 2nd Prize.<\/p>\n

The work illustrates the violence against the Mapuche, the largest indigenous people in Chile. They claim the right to recover their ancestral lands, but the Chilean government “criminalizes collective action and militarizes the land.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“This issue kept coming back to me, not knowing much, not knowing what they were saying about this fight,” says Crist\u00f3bal. Therefore, with photography as an excuse, he started traveling to the area in 2019. From then until the beginning of 2020 he went almost every month. During the pandemic he dedicated himself to the editing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
