Graphic Exhibit “XX years of NUNCA MAS”


September 20th of 2004 marked 20 years since the presentation of the report of the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons (CONADEP) to the then president of the Republic, Dr. Raúl Alfonsín. To commemorate the date, Memoria Abierta produced the graphic exhibit “XX Years of Nunca Más”.

The photographic tour addressed events such as the inauguration of Dr. Alfonsín, the creation of the CONADEP five days later, the presentation of the report, the publication of Nunca Más and the March of Resistance.

The CONADEP was created in 1983 with the mission of investigating the dimension and forms of illegal repression perpetrated by the Armed Forces during the military dictatorship (1976-1983). The research was based on the denouncements of family members of the disappeared and the testimonies of survivors.

The report was published for the first time in November of 1984 with the title “Nunca Más”. Presently, it continues to be one of the principal sources of documentation on what occurred in those years.

The exhibit was carried out with the support of Royal Embassy of the Netherlands and the German Embassy. It was displayed at the Palais de Glace (Buenos Aires, November of 2004), in the Pablo Sacchero room of the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of the province of Mendoza (December of 2004), in the Museum of Fine Arts of the city of Posadas (Misiones, April of 2005), in the Museum of Memory in Rosario (Santa Fe, May and June of 2005), in the Association for Memory and Life in the ex-clandestine detention center Mansión Seré, Morón (Buenos Aires Province, July and August of 2005), and in the Legislature of the province of Santa Fe in September of 2005.
