Abstract

The lack of digital curation in general in Latin America, which promotes memory about printed journalistic products in the region, has led to the attempt to create a research-creation product such as the curatorship titled “Images of Peruvian Society at the Dawn of the Centennial of the Independence of Peru.” The present work is responsible for reviewing it and presenting its results. The project shows artistic images, advertisements, and caricatures that circulated in two illustrated magazines at the beginning of the 20th century: Variedades and Mundial. The research period is between 1919 and 1930, the years of the Oncenio de Leguía. As stated in this article, the objective of this image exhibition is to research the imaginaries found in those years. This article explains the phases the project was carried out, describes the final result, and briefly analyzes some representations found in the images. This way, we aim to show how the curatorship can expose the imaginaries present in Lima’s upper and middle classes at the beginning of the 20th century.
