SM Apoyo Mutuo is a centre of resistance, creation and education in the context of the social movement in Chile. It provides medical supplies to the health brigades, designs, produces and delivers safety equipment and organises first aid, self-defense and civic education sessions. It has more than 30 volunteers coming from diverse backgrounds.
The money will pay, among other things, for: physiological saline solution, medicine, towels, cloths, bandages (to stop bleedings), gloves, buckets, eye protection (glasses), helmets, gas masks, food and water.
The medical supplies are bought and delivered according to the needs of each riot day. Volunteers of our team are in contact with health brigades in Santiago, Valparaiso and other locations where help might be needed.
Your help is saving lives!

About the space
Sagrada Mercancía is an independent artist-run space located in downtown Santiago, Chile. Since 2014, they have organised international residencies, curated exhibitions and events. Their mission is to instigate critical thinking around contemporary art exhibitions through a space that functions as an alternative to commercial galleries and other art institutions in Chile. Through its programmes, Sagrada Mercancía aims to create and access networks between local artists, curators and the public, to disseminate their activities and join critical conversations on contemporary art across Latin America and beyond.
