About

Discover how artistic work has allowed people of multiple generations in Argentina to work through Argentina's troubled past and to advocate for social change.

Explore Buenos Aires to examine the role of art in remembering, moving forward, and working toward social transformation. Consider ways NGOs have employed art to create a nonviolent culture in some of Buenos Aires’ more challenged spaces and partner with an NGO in a service project. You will gain an awareness of the ways art can offer porteños, residents of Buenos Aires, diverse means of voicing discontent and working for a more just future. Understand the potential relationship between art and nonviolence and the use of art as an expression of both resilience and resistance.
