Mester LIV invited submissions that engage with transdisciplinary and multimedia perspectives examining the historical and contemporary tensions in Latin American cities. We sought to explore how urban spaces become contested sites where violence, class and gender disputes, and socio‑political struggles intersect, shaping cultural production and everyday life. These dynamics are not only historical but also intrinsically present in contemporary Latin American metropolises and urban settings, where ongoing processes of modernization, migration, and inequality continue to redefine the urban experience.</p>",
