Exhibits & Events

María Verónica San Martín engages with the complicated political history of her native Chile through printmaking, installation and performance, with handmade artist books at the center of her practice. She believes that art has a civic, historic and political responsibility to reconstruct the stories of the past in order to create social change. Acknowledging the form of the book as a repository of both memory and knowledge, her work challenges systems of power while proposing a way to learn and heal in the context of past trauma.
