One of the great things about living in downtown Santiago is the number of performances and events that just seem to spontaneously pop up on any given day. Yesterday there was an explosion of colourful international dance in Plaza de Armas as part of the V Festival Internacional “Desde el Fin del Mundo” provided by BAFOCHI.

Anarchist March (Marcha Anarquista) - September 9, 2012
As expected, the anarchist march here in Santiago today was anything but peaceful. Their cause is not related to the student education protests but is instead about general awareness of exploitation and oppression on the part of the state.
Chile, September 1973:
Several days after the military coup. People are being forced to remove revolutionary slogans from buildings while militaries are watching.
