There are 16 photos that make up this version of the exhibition in which you can see the faces of men, women, boys and girls, captives, squeezed together against a wall, subjected to the lens of scientists who wanted to justify the extinction of communities as something natural and not as part of the genocide carried out at the end of the 19th century.
The exhibition can be seen starting tomorrow, within the framework of the activities proposed by the Institute belonging to the Property Registry of the province of Buenos Aires, and which this year are carried out with the Memory Commission of the Buenos Aires registry, in the Headquarters at Calle 44 N° 477, between 4 and 5.
The inauguration will be in charge of the anthropologist Karina Oldani, who was the president of the Guias collective during the years 2006 to 2016, who will open the event with the conference “Anthropology of Genocide”.
Photographer Marco Bufano, curator of the exhibitions of the Colectivo Guias, explained to Télam that “these images are proof of the genocide planned by the Argentine government in the 19th century” and remarked that “thanks to the rescue of the collective, the exhibition accompanies the restitutions of ancestors of communities driven by communities”.
Anthropologist Fernando Miguel Pepe, founder of Guias, explained to this agency that “the exhibition originated in 2010 to exhibit at the ´Dr. Francisco Pascasio Moreno´ Museum of Patagonia, in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, as counterpart of the documentary photographic exhibition ´Wingka Malón – Campaña del Desierto´, belonging to the General Archive of the Nation (AGN).
“After more than a decade and more than 110 presentations, we can say that we have fulfilled what we set out to do when we founded Guias in 2006 and that Pierre Bourdieu described as exemplary the strategy deployed by H. Haacke to recover a space for the critical word: ´Producing clear and provocative works of denunciation that make the press react and provoke efforts to destroy the work by those who cannot stand it, thus making a lot of noise, and making the message accessible to those who do not belong to the field'”, concluded Pepe.
