Sobre la muestra



With the intention of founding a space for memory and reflection, the Fundación Memoria Histórica y Social Argentina proposed in 1991 the creation of a forest in commemoration of the victims of State terrorism.

The landscape project was developed by the Foundation and Memoria Abierta, Acción Coordinada de Organismos de Derechos Humanos, and proposed in 2003 to the Secretary of Production, Tourism, and Sustainable Development of the City Government of Buenos Aires.

Finally, the Sub-secretary of the Environment, through the Program of Participative Design, proposed to destine six of the forty hectors corresponding to the recuperation of the urban environment of the Indo-American Park in the south of the City to the Walk of Human Rights.

The design was agreed upon by neighbours and consists of the creation of 20 small mountains with twenty trees on each one as a tribute to different groups of people that disappeared during the last military dictatorship in Argentina.

The 20 mountains, a plaza of reflection and the paths that connect each part comprise the Walk of Human Rights: a space for community, a space for tribute to the 30,000 disappeared.
