Artistic activism has become a central element for political change in Chile. In 2019, during Chile’s October uprising, graffiti and muralism were at the centre of the street protests. Taking concepts of memory and prefiguration as a theoretical framework, this article examines how visual artist Fab Ciraolo created his narratives of rebellion during October’s uprising and, in turn, posits the potential of contemporary Chilean graffiti and muralism as a repertoire of political action. This article explores the inspiration that social movements have gained from these types of artistic practices and the role the arts, in general, have had as a new repertoire of political action and engagement in politics in Chile.
