Abstract

The archive at the Tallersol Cultural Center (Santiago, Chile) contains over eight thousand printed items that were produced by the graphic workshop between 1973 and the present day. Around five thousand of the pieces are posters. These were printed in colour and black-and-white by typography, screen printing, xylography (woodcut relief) and offset printing techniques on paper of various weights, formats and sizes, such as letter, legal, double letter, double legal and ‘mercurio’. The remaining three thousand items are cards, postcards, bulletins, event invitations, pamphlets, leaflets, books and poetry. Tallersol was the most productive graphic workshop in Santiago and the most enduring, as it continues its campaigns to commemorate resistance to dictatorship today. This project has begun the work of cataloging and digitizing the Tallersol archive to democratize access to the public and researchers. An initial set of 150 posters, all created by artist Antonio Kadima, were digitized and are accessible online.
