  Este libro es una obra en grabado producida colectivamente. From conceptualization to execution, we work together every step of the way. Discussing how creative processes have a similarity to the way nature operates. Inspired by the 4 elements of nature, we decided to trace the similarities of our own creative processes with the forms and movements of each element: fire as an explosive will to create, air where multiple ideas intertwine stormy until decanting into water as a deep sensitivity and earth as the concrete space where to root our practice. The hands of each one appear in this narrative generating a braiding that goes beyond the production of an image. This book is the log of the efforts to collectivize artistic creation, it is a record of the dialogues of experimentation and the exercise of printmaking, it is a way to share and collaborate in a work where there is space for all wills. It becomes inevitable to open conversations about cooperation in art in our current context and to ask ourselves: what do we wish to sow for the future in each of our practices? Are we in a context that favors the creation of collectives and that respects the timeframe for dialogue and agreements? This publication reminds us of the need for our hands to create with other women and also the complexity of rowing in the political direction we believe to be correct. We share the vision and the stroke in each of these pages, forging an ecosystem of agreements and disagreements, mistakes and surprises, technique and feeling. Above all, it is the record of a restlessness to continue creating together and the desire to follow in the footsteps of the women who taught us to share and to turn to nature and its advice to connect with the physical and emotional territory that sustains our vision of the future.

About Caudal Gráfico

About Caudal Gráfico

Caudal Gráfico is a collective of artists formed in the Chilean uprising of 2019, which from the craft of printmaking has built a critical space and containment in a context of change. Five years after its creation, the collective has developed projects that seek new ways of practicing printmaking. From experimentation with methodologies for collective creation, each work challenges authorship with carvings that intertwine in shared processes. The game with formats and materialities has allowed us the displacement of the craft, with works that have been installed in different urban interventions. These are not part of the logic of a production model that reduces the time of creation to immediacy, opting for constant learning and the necessary care required by the trade. Also as a collective we have diversified into other creative areas of work such as muralism, workshops and illustration, always maintaining the collaborative spirit.
