As historic protests continue in Chile, we explore the nation’s social crisis through the eyes of its artists.

From the slums to the Latin Grammys. The superstar singer Mon Laferte speaks to Tina about why her experience of growing up as a child surrounded by poverty in the city of Viña del Mar has inspired her to join the protests and to help Chile’s poorest citizens.

How would you feel if you had no choice but to take your child to a job interview? That’s the question at the heart of Chilean writer Paulina Flores’ award winning story, Humiliation. We hear an extract of the moving tale of one father’s struggle to save face after losing his livelihood.

A playful rhythm that tells the stories of the underworld. Actor and singer Daniel Muñoz reveals the secret behind of one of the most typical Chilean dances, cueca brava. It’s like a Chilean tango, but with a lively flow.

Meet the woman standing up for Chile through comedy. Natalia Valdebenito talks about how she uses humour to challenge authority and speak out against sexism and corruption.
