"I'm Here: A Chilean initiative that makes visible street dogs

This is one of the noblest urban interventions I've seen lately. Two girls who go to a subway station in Santiago, Chile with lots of colorful balloons with helium. In the balloons write messages like "touch me", "hold me", "adopt me", "love me" or "feed me".

Chile's protest street art
Practitioner:
Mr Owl

Mar 1 2020
"The walls of the streets of downtown Santiago are covered with stickers, art, words and posters. The messages are varied and range from "Feminist power" to "All cops are bastards". They have taken over the walls of Zona Cero (Ground Zero), the name given to the area around Plaza de la Dignidad, where anti-government protests have been held - and at times brutally repressed by police - since 18 October.

Chilean Protesters Used Lasers to Bring down Police Drone
Practitioner:
Chiliean protesters
Date:
Nov 12 2019
A technological feat has emerged amid the Chilean protests. A video of protestors bringing down a police drone has gone viral on social media sites. These protestors didn't use any physical or gun force to bring the drone down. Instead, they used another form of technology: lasers. A lot of bright green laser beams were pointed in unison at the drone, which can be seen moving erratically, before quickly falling down to Earth.
