LEBEAU, Élodie. The Museum of Solidarity of the Popular Unity in Exile (1971-1991). A Transnational Experience at a Time of Cultural Cold War. Secuencia [online]. 2020, n.108, e1835.  Epub Feb 17, 2021. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i108.1835.

This article seeks to present the transnational solidarity networks that allowed the creation of the Museo de la Solidaridad (1971-1973) during the Popular Unity and its development in exile through Museo Internacional de la Resistencia Salvador Allende (1975-1990) until its return to Chile in 1991. Analyzing the interconnections between political, artistic and intellectual networks, we set out to highlight the central role of the visual arts in the manifestations of solidarity with Chile during the government of Salvador Allende and subsequently against the dictatorship of General Pinochet. Focusing on the local, national, and international levels, this contribution examines the dialogue between various geographical and time scales and disciplinary approaches. At the same time, it explores the discourses and strategies of the participating agents and institutions, including those of artists through the analysis of the imaginaries that emerge from their works.

Keywords : Museo de la Solidaridad; Popular Unity (1970-1973); international solidarity; artistic networks; Latin America.
