We Will Find Them - Arpilleras and the Political Art of Chile Under Pinochet

'We Will Find Them: Arpilleras and the Political Art of Chile Under Pinochet' tells the powerful story of the arpilleristas – women who transformed burlap cloth into vivid textile scenes of protest, memory, and hope during Chile’s dictatorship. Through these handmade works, they defied censorship, documented disappearances, and connected international audiences to the realities of life under repression. Blending history, testimony, and visual culture, writer Jess White explores how creative practice became a form of resistance and survival. Featuring newly documented arpilleras alongside works from national collections, the book reveals the courage, ingenuity, and enduring political force of Chilean makers in dark times.
