Nuevo Mundo, Ep. 01 - Bolivia
Juan Tamayo | Documentary, Series
2020 | 53 minutes | Chile
In Bolivia, we explore how street art drives decolonization, challenges patriarchy, and revives muralism as a voice for the marginalized.
Synopsis
In a country shaped by the resurgence of indigenous power, urban art emerges as a powerful tool for promoting cultural decolonization and challenging the enduring structures of patriarchy. Through vibrant colors and striking designs on city walls, contemporary artists reclaim the legacy of social muralism—a historical tradition that transforms walls into platforms of protest and collective expression.
These murals tell stories of resistance, amplify the voices of those historically marginalized, and bridge the struggles of the past with the pressing challenges of today’s Bolivian society. From bustling streets to towering mountains, urban art in Bolivia stands as a space of resistance, memory, and transformation.
