Since 2023, the CREAR PODER POPULAR COLLECTIVE, composed of four Montreal-based Chilean women, have led exhibitions, workshops, and presentations in universities, schools, and memory sites across Canada, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Sweden. Their practice combines visual arts, research, and pedagogy, rooted in participatory methods and a commitment to social justice. Carolina Echeverría’s acclaimed visual art explores migration, identity, and cultural exchange; Gisela Frías, a geographer and professor at Dawson College, focuses on participatory action research across Latin America; Denise A. Olivares combines textiles and photography to reframe memory and belonging; and Sarabeth Triviño, a professional artisan and textile artist, works with crochet, macramé, knitting, and embroidery to address feminist, social, and environmental issues.
