Chile paves the way to Victorina Press (2017)

October 2017 brought the centenary of Violeta Parra’s birth, a folk legend and inspiration of Latin America. Almost one hundred and three years ago, Violeta challenged the political ideal of Chile as an idyllic, peaceful and prosperous country. She used music, words, art, and any creative outlet you can think of, as her weaponry and armour to fight the battle for and against the political and social injustices which had the country in turmoil.
