The Santiago Heritage Society was established to preserve and exhibit the works of the late sculptor, artist and teacher Santiago Bell
Santiago Bell
Santiago Bell was an Anglo-Chilean sculptor who left Chile for Cambridge, UK in 1975 as a political refugee after the violent military coup led by Augusto Pinochet two years earlier.
In the UK, Santiago created a series of wooden sculptures that reflected the poverty and injustice he witnessed throughout his life and the cruelty he endured and observed during his imprisonment.
Santiago created communities simply by generating a space for people to work, talk and realise their talents
