Sumario:In Latin America, the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 virus amplified the social and political crises that have affected the region since before the pandemic. In this essay, we address some of the visual arts practices developed in three countries where the crisis has been particularly insidious: Chile, Colombia and Brazil. Moving beyond the representation of the crisis and of the governmental sanitary discourse, these practices intervene in the crisis, i.e., they contribute to the structural changes that the crisis compels us to effectuate. These practices emerge as aesthetic interventions, that is, not only as mediations of social forces, but also, as one of their forms, as a particular modality of resistance, political articulation and collective care.
