On 19 October 1983, people queued for food at a soup kitchen on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. A dated photograph records the line in a settlement of tents and makeshift shacks built on government land.
Chile's early-1980s economic crisis intensified unemployment and poverty, and community kitchens helped neighbourhoods endure. The line was not only a scene of charity. It was also a local order for sharing limited ingredients fairly and keeping neighbours fed.
