Olek Covers an Obelisk in Santiago, Chile With Crocheted Rainbow Designs to Highlight the Issue of Equality

Earlier this year during the Hecho en Casa Festival in Santiago, Chile, the talented and prolific crochet artist and yarnbomber Olek left her distinctive mark on the Balmaceda obelisk at the center of Plaza Baquedano that she covered in a rainbow colored crocheted design to highlight the issue of equality. Filmmaker Nicolás Rojas Castro captured the entire process with additional footage provided Leonardo Spinetti and others.
