This study explores the role of ‘The Pobladores’ Carnival’ in Santiago, Chile, as a platform for collective action. The document investigates the historical and social role of the artistic-cultural practices in mobilizing urban poor settlers and their contribution to the transformation and negotiation of urban space. The research employs qualitative and ethnographic data from in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentary sources. It delves into the concept of ‘carnivalization’ and its interpretations, the historical development of carnival practices in Chile and the concept of ‘carnival politics’ in the local urban spaces. The article’s contribution to the field of urban cultural studies lies in its insights into the role of creativity and cultural practices in renegotiating urban inequality, rearticulating urban periphery actors and promoting the Right to the City.
