Lotty Rosenfeld

Bio:

Lotty Rosenfeld was a Chilean interdisciplinary artist whose practice spanned performance, video, printmaking, and site-specific installation. Emerging during the military dictatorship of the 1970s, she was a central figure in Chile’s “escena de avanzada”—a generation of artists who merged activism, poetry, and conceptual strategies to challenge state repression. As a founding member of Colectivo Acciones de Arte (CADA) and later through her solo work, Rosenfeld staged public interventions that reclaimed civic spaces co-opted by the regime to resist the militarization of everyday life. Engaged with feminist movements such as Mujeres por la Vida, Rosenfeld’s projects disrupted the routines of authoritarian control, opening sites for creative resistance and collective memory.
