Chilean writers and artists that belong to the 80’s Generation, devised channels to recover and maintain the memory of the dictatorship. Their idea was to create forums where citizens could break away from silence and recount their experiences. However, the generation of artists and writers from the beginning of the XXI Century are breaking away from this tradition of memory and are creating new forms of art that use memory as a foundation but not as the focal point of their work. This paper analyzes how Florencia Smiths’ poems and Equipo ZELM’s graphic novels are creating a Chilean narrative that keeps memory but going beyond it to shape the idea of the nation in the contemporary century.
