The Biblioteca Popular, which took us an hour to walk to the first time we went there, is on Calle San Martín in Barrio San Martín, a marginal neighborhood mostly populated by Chilean immigrants and individuals with native roots -either mapuche or tehuelche. We first arrived at this library, part of Ernesto Allende and Rosa Pincol’s house that they have dedicated to community use, in search of a photo exhibit of the barrio’s history. Our research and videotaped interviews both inside as well as done while walking on the streets of the barrio, are all based on the connections made through this library.
