In Chile, the eleventh season of ‘The Dark Side of the Sur’ recently concluded at the Museo Regional de Aysén. The initiative, driven by Malotún Ortiga, integrated live music, visual arts, and conversation. Performers included Pedropiedra, Celeste Anacletxx, and the group Intiwayna. The final session was rescheduled due to local health authority recommendations regarding respiratory viruses.
