Issues of race have long been silenced in many (post)colonial contexts in Latin America and beyond, and are not established in public discourse, especially in relation to the implicit social norm of 'whiteness'. Nevertheless, as sadly highlighted by the Covid-19 health emergency and by the BLM protests after the murder of George Floyd, inequalities are closely linked to racialisation processes, shaping social life in many cities across the world. Chile constitutes an excellent location for thinking about these issues, due to the recent strong reaction against high levels of socio-economic inequality and its racial dimensions. In October 2019, the country was shaken by political unrest, questioning the traditional emphasis on class for the understanding of inequality and privilege in one of the most unequal countries in the world. The income gap between rich and poor is 65% wider than the OECD average and privatisation has had lasting consequences for social security, education, and basic services, exacerbating the racialised dimensions of class inequality that locate indigenous people and mestizos disproportionately in the lower strata.Working in close collaboration with organisations in Santiago, the project aims to make visible the otherwise hidden processes of racialisation through practice-based collaborative interventions employing digital media. Moving from a historical research and ethnographic fieldwork phase in Santiago, a mobile phone app 'MonuRama' will be collaboratively designed. The app will implement a digital interactive city-tour in particular areas of the capital city, through which ideas of 'whiteness' will be addressed as embedded in urban materialities - colonial and postcolonial monuments, statues, landmarks and architectures - shaping the city's socio-spatial landscape, and being embodied/challenged in interracial frictions. Santiago's urban landscape will be addressed as a context where the 'desired whiteness' of the Chilean nation is materialised, and a digitally mediated space for interaction will be created moving from architecture, monuments, and landmarks. In the exchange between the material representation of the national ideology of racial homogeneity, indigenous and mestizo counternarratives, and the app users' responses and reactions, the ways in which ideas of 'whiteness' are enacted, embodied, and challenged will be analysed. The mobile phone app 'MonuRama' will be open access and will be designed by a dedicated external designer, with whom the team will be in contact from the beginning of the fieldwork. The app will then be launched through trial events and public debates, and will be monitored in its use in close collaboration with the local team. This aims at fostering public debate over racialisation processes and contributing to shaping anti-racism policies and city governance agendas by inviting policymakers to dissemination events through the project's partners networks.'Set in stone?' will provide an original contribution to studies of racial inequalities and generate important knowledge exchange between academic and non-academic sectors, involving the social sciences and digital media production. Its key impact will be the elaboration of an interdisciplinary and collaborative methodology that can be applied in different contexts to tackle urban segregation and global racial inequalities; its main outputs include a collaboratively developed app and related trial sessions in Santiago; a project website; academic publications and conference participation; four knowledge exchange activities in European and Latin American cities.

种族问题在拉丁美洲及其他地区的许多（后）殖民背景下长期被沉默，在公共话语中没有确立，特别是在与“白人”的隐含社会规范有关的方面。然而，正如2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）突发事件和乔治弗洛伊德（Floyd）被谋杀后的BLM抗议活动所可悲地强调的那样，不平等与种族化进程密切相关，影响着世界各地许多城市的社会生活。智利是思考这些问题的绝佳地点，因为最近对严重的社会经济不平等及其种族层面作出了强烈反应。2019年10月，该国因政治动荡而动摇，质疑传统上强调阶级的不平等和特权的理解在世界上最不平等的国家之一。贫富之间的收入差距比经合组织平均水平高出65%，私有化对社会保障、教育和基本服务产生了持久的影响，加剧了阶级不平等的种族化层面，使土著人和混血儿不成比例地处于下层。该项目旨在通过利用数字媒体的基于实践的合作干预，使人们看到种族化的其他隐藏过程。从圣地亚哥的历史研究和人种学实地考察阶段开始，将合作设计一个移动的手机应用程序“MonuRama”。该应用程序将在首都的特定区域实施数字互动城市之旅，通过该应用程序，“白色”的想法将被视为嵌入城市物质-殖民和后殖民纪念碑，雕像，地标和建筑-塑造城市的社会空间景观，并在种族间摩擦中体现/挑战。圣地亚哥的城市景观将作为一个背景下，智利国家的“理想的白色”是物质化，和数字媒介的互动空间将创建从建筑，纪念碑和地标移动。在种族同质性的国家意识形态的物质表现，土著和混血人的反叙事，以及应用程序用户的反应和反应之间的交流，在其中的“白”的想法制定，体现和挑战的方式将进行分析。移动的手机应用程序“MonuRama”将开放访问，并将由专门的外部设计师设计，团队将从实地工作开始就与之联系。然后，该应用程序将通过试用活动和公开辩论推出，并将与当地团队密切合作，监测其使用情况。该项目的目的是通过邀请决策者通过项目伙伴网络开展宣传活动，促进公众对种族化进程的辩论，并为制定反种族主义政策和城市治理议程作出贡献。“铁板一块？“将为种族不平等问题的研究做出原创性贡献，并在学术和非学术部门之间开展重要的知识交流，涉及社会科学和数字媒体制作。其主要影响将是制定一种可在不同情况下应用的跨学科协作方法，以解决城市隔离和全球种族不平等问题;其主要产出包括协作开发的应用程序和在圣地亚哥举行的相关试验会议;一个项目网站;学术出版物和参加会议;在欧洲和拉丁美洲城市举行的四次知识交流活动。
