Session Information

Description:
The Memory Park (Parque de la Memoria) is a public memorial site located on the banks of the Río de la Plata in Buenos Aires. Created through a collaborative initiative involving human rights organizations, the University of Buenos Aires, and Buenos Aires city, it commemorates the victims of state terrorism during the dictatorship (1976–1983). The park combines a monument inscribed with the names of the disappeared, contemporary public art installations, and a unique riverside setting that invites reflection on memory, human rights, and the enduring commitment to truth, justice, and the principle of "Never Again."

Participants of the tour will also be visiting the exhibition "The collection remembers", a selection of works from the Museo Moderno's exceptional collection that engages critically with the emotional weight of the Parque de la Memoria's past. The exhibition offers a journey through the different poetic strategies developed by artists in times of censorship and through the subsequent return to democracy. The works denounce the violence of those years bringing lucidity and sensitivity to the process of working through social trauma.

Tickets for the visit (EN) - sales start in July
