Abstract

On the 18th October 2019, one of the biggest social crises in Chile’s recent history broke out in its capital Santiago. Against a backdrop of state repression and disinformation, there emerged multiple collaborative initiatives, largely based on new technologies, to collate spatial information. The objective of this article is to discover this collation’s significance and usefulness. As such, these cartographic records have been identified and analysed by way of genuine participatory observation within social networks. The results present digital cartography as a strategy of mutual care, an arena for struggle and a fundamental milestone in its continuity.
