“…Currently, Mapuche indigeneity is expressed through diverse manifestations within the city, in an ongoing reappropriation and resignification of the urban space and place‐making in Santiago, revealing the long multicultural character of the city (Imilán, 2017). While the city historically constituted a space of exclusion and marginality for indigenous people, their growing and active presence within urban contexts speaks of a reality of negotiation, hybridisation and even reterritorialisation, encompassing symbolic as well as material aspects that can be seen throughout Abya Yala (see García Canclini and Liffman, 2000; García Canclini, 2005; Escobar, 2008; Peters and Anders, 2013; Horn, 2018). These dynamics are fundamental for understanding the contemporary cityscapes of Santiago, calling attention to the need to address contemporary indigenous experiences (see, for example, Gissi, 2004; Antileo, 2008; Aravena, 2007; Imilán, 2009), without relegating them to the ‘traditional’ spaces of the rural communities defined by colonial mandates.…”
