This article analyses the visual figuration of children during the Chilean Popular Unity government (1970-1973) in a diverse archive of photographs, posters, album covers, magazines, and comics. First, it reads the realist representation of children in photography, which emphasises the dramatics of poverty as a form of establishing a photographic "civil contract" (Azoulay, The Civil Contract of Photography, 2008). Second, it interprets posters and texts concerning the Allende government's Plan de Leche (Milk Plan) as an affirmative biopolitics. It concludes by showing that the children on illustrated posters are the idealised version of childhood projected by adults as a way of imagining a coming community
