The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies invites you to A Week of Remembrance: 50 Years Since the Argentine Military Coup, a series of events reflecting on the legacy of Argentina’s 1976 dictatorship and the ongoing work of memory, justice, and human rights. This week of programming serves as the culminating event of the spring series Shifting Landscapes in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Our intention is to bring together students, faculty, and the broader community to engage with the historical and contemporary impact of state violence in Argentina. Programming includes a screening of Norita, a discussion with producer Andrea Tortonese, a Spanish-language book club featuring Sálvate Vos with author Juan Carrá, and a conversational lunch space for informal dialogue in Spanish.
The series will conclude with a talk by special guest Mayki Gorosito, former Executive Director of the ESMA Memory Site Museum, one of Argentina’s most important sites of memory. Her talk will reflect on 50 years since the coup, offering insights into the management of memory institutions and the evolving landscape of public memory policies in Argentina. Translation will be available for this event.
We hope you can join us for this special week of activities.
