ArtReview and Sharjah Architecture Triennial publish essays on Atacama geoglyphs as tools for indigenous justice

As part of the 'Rights of Future Generations: Conditions' initiative, ArtReview collaborated with the Sharjah Architecture Triennial to release three essays focusing on environmental disputes and social organization frameworks. This program is scheduled from 9 November 2019 to 8 February 2020, with the essays available online and in print starting November 2019. One essay examines the geoglyphs of the Atacama Desert, which are ancient art forms that functioned as travel indicators and social mediators. The Huatacondo geoglyphs in Chile’s Tarapacá Region are utilized by locals in their opposition to mining corporations like Teck, Anglo American, and Glencore Xstrata. These geoglyphs are safeguarded by Chilean law as national monuments. Authors Alonso Barros and Gonzalo Pimentel emphasize their importance for social justice and relations. The online exclusive was released on 18 October 2019.
