“No Hay Una Sola Historia”: Collective Framing of Urban Artistic Interventions in Argentine Northern Patagonia

This article looks at how a slow resistance to hegemonic settler colonial narratives of progress and the absencing of Indigenous Mapuche people is articulated by the discursive and material presence of urban artistic interventions (UAIs) in Argentine Northern Patagonia. This is done by looking at the temporalities and spatialities of UAIs as material interventions in public discourse. UAIs are analyzed through the framing categories of social communication, protest, utopian experimentation, and reactionary UAI. The question answered is: ‘How do local Indigenous and allied actors make their presence and resistance visible in public spaces, and how do these practices build alliances, consensus, and alternative imaginaries?’Data is taken from photos taken by the author during fieldwork in 2023, semi- structured interviews with movement activists and participant observation from movement meetings, events and protest marches.
