The Télam agency pays tribute to the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo with a photographic exhibition in the Plaza Seca of the CCK.
It will be officially inaugurated on Thursday, March 24 at 4:30 p.m. with the presence of the president of the Télam National News Agency, Bernarda Llorente, the National Minister of Culture, Tristán Bauer, and Martín Bonavetti, Undersecretary of Management of Spaces and Projects. Specials of the named ministry, among other authorities and guests. The exhibition will remain on display until Sunday the 27th of that month.
The exhibition is made up of 16 large photographs belonging to the agency’s archivemade by its photojournalists, who evoke different moments starring Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo in their marches and rounds through the years.
Among the images, the public will find, for example, one that refers to the claim for the appearance of the appropriate children alive as part of the systematic plan of genocide carried out by State terrorism; the extensive banner that collected the name and face of the 30,000 detainees who disappeared in the 2007 march; another that portrays the cry “present”, replicated in dozens of portraits of disappeared detainees in Tucumán; or the head of the march against the Final Point promoted by Alfonsinism and voted by the National Congress in 1986.
With the power of black and white, “Scarves of Memory” reflects in another photo the confrontation of the Mothers and Grandmothers against the repressive forces of the dictatorship that tried to silence them in one of the first marches and the tribute to the Mothers that was celebrated by the parishioners of the Santa Cruz Church, one of the places of resistance located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of San Cristóbal.
Also part of the exhibition is an image of the repression suffered by the Mothers when former President Fernando de la Rúa ordered a state of siege in December 2001; and another with the projective look of Memory, Truth and Justice in the brown and slanted eyes of a girl holding, in 2008, the flag with the names and portraits of the disappeared.
