Here stands the Mural memoria, verdad y justicia. It is more than just art. It is a testament to a painful past. It is a vibrant declaration of hope.
This mural was unveiled on March 24, 2021. It stands proudly at the headquarters of CICOP. CICOP is the Trade Union Association of Health Professionals of the Province of Buenos Aires.
Karina Zinik led the design and direction. She is a talented mosaic artist known as Alikata. The mural’s creation was a collaborative effort. Many people joined together to bring it to life.
The Mural memoria, verdad y justicia embraces names and colors. It embodies memory, truth, and justice. María José Bonelli, a member of the Alikata workshop, described it best. She called it an adventure where voices cry out for their history.
The mural speaks to the importance of remembering. When we forget what happened, history can repeat itself. These are the things that marginalize us. These things kill our memories. They steal our ideas. They burn our words.
The mural reminds us that history is often written by the victors. But there is always another story. It is the true story. Let those who have ears, listen.
The Mural memoria, verdad y justicia is not just a static image. It is a living reminder of a promise. Never again. It honors those who were detained and disappeared. They were members of the health team.
Murales Buenos Aires praised the mural. They called it a beautiful mural that keeps memory alive. It pursues truth and demands justice. The Human Rights Secretariat of CICOP also expressed gratitude. They thanked the artists who created it.
Another significant mural is “Eternas Flores por la Memoria.” Cristina Terzaghi created it. It is located in the Casa de Gobierno of the Province of Buenos Aires. This mural commemorates the 30,000 disappeared. They vanished during the last civic-military dictatorship.
Terzaghi used the sgraffito technique. This involves layering materials of different colors. Then she made interventions on the layers. Over 30 workers from the Province contributed to its creation.
Terzaghi herself was persecuted during the dictatorship. She reopened the muralism career. She renamed it “Muralism and Public Monumental Art – Ricardo Carpani.” The dictatorship had closed it.
The Mural memoria, verdad y justicia is a beacon. It shines a light on the past. It inspires us to fight for a better future. It is a reminder that memory, truth, and justice are essential. They are essential for a just society. Take a moment to reflect on the stories it tells. Let it inspire you to never forget. Let it drive you to seek truth and justice always.
