Galpón Víctor Jara, Cultural center and music venue in Barrio Brasil, Santiago, Chile
Galpón Víctor Jara is a large warehouse-style building in Barrio Brasil serving as a concert hall and exhibition space. The venue hosts different types of live performances and artistic presentations within its industrial-style interior.
This cultural space was established in 2003 by the Victor Jara Foundation, named after a singer-songwriter who died in 1973 during the military coup. Its creation marked a return to supporting the arts after a period of suppression.
The venue carries the name of a Chilean musician who became a symbol of artistic resistance. Today it serves as a space where people gather to experience and celebrate music that speaks to their communities.
The venue is located on Huérfanos Street in Barrio Brasil and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday. It is easily accessible on foot, and regular events are held with varying admission costs depending on the type of performance.
Every Tuesday evening the space transforms into a gathering place for Cueca Brava, a traditional Chilean dance form that connects younger people with older customs. This weekly event draws visitors who want to experience this lively dance tradition firsthand.
