Description
As Argentina suffered and later emerged from the nightmare of its last military dictatorship, artists sought both to undermine the regime’s monologic discourse of national identity and to promote more profound, humane conversations about Argentine identity and reality. In this context, the historical and fictional storyteller emerges as a transformative force whose power resides in his/her ability to help civil society re-imagine itself through dialogues.
