On Sunday April 12, 2026, at the Velostazione Ex Dynamo in Bologna, the exhibition Mythology in Chile. Myths, Legends, and Oral Traditions opens.
The exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the symbolic and narrative imagination of a country rich in stories passed down over time, with a special focus on childhood. The display offers a visual journey through legendary creatures, ancestral tales, and collective memories, exploring the value of oral tradition as a means of cultural transmission.
The works on display, created by 14 Chilean illustrators active in children’s publishing, build a dialogue between tradition and contemporary languages, offering images that speak to children as well as adult audiences.
Myths take shape through accessible and poetic signs, colors, and visions, bringing new life to ancient stories.
An evocative journey celebrating the power of storytelling and its ability to span generations, keeping shared identities and imaginations alive.
The exhibition is curated by the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile, ProChile, and DIRAC – the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; in collaboration with Ex-Dynamo.
