The purpose of Rostros II, or Faces II, as a photographic and film essay is to raise awareness and memory by showing the images of people that have lost a loved one and/or have worked in our country defending human rights. Every one of them is shown, both in photography and film, with an object that represents the loved one they have lost, while they speak about what they have gone through and how the fight everyday to raise awareness and memory. They talk about their social activism to achieve a better future and how it was born in the pain they have gone through and still feel today.

Photographic exhibition “Ojo de Pez - Futuras Memorias” (Fisheye - Memories in the future)
“There are no neutral observations, there are no indifferent frames.
The photographs in this exhibition express the decisions of their authors, along with their sensitivity and aesthetic diversity.
The images show the curiosity and abilities of the photographers; they allow us to see beyond the moments captured by the camera. They express that, as Roberto Arlt said regarding literature: ‘The future’ is possible thanks to the ‘power of work’”.

Panel Discussion with Screening - “Human Trafficking and Explotation”
Film: “Marcela” by Antonio Balseiro + “La guayaba” (“The Guava”) by Maximiliano González (92 min.)
Discussion: Nowadays, thousands of people, most of them women, children and teenagers, are in unacceptable situations of human trafficking that acquire a transnational reach. “Human trafficking” is the trade of human beings that have been captured through violence, deceit or abuse. This is achieved in different ways, through sexual or labor exploitation and organ trafficking. There are also cases in which poor men and women, immigrants, live in a context where their basic needs are not fulfilled, so they feel attracted to the promises of a good job, but when they enter the “trafficking market” they are kidnapped and turned into slaves and are stripped of their human rights. Always keeping in mind this worrying reality, the panel will not only present the outlook of the human rights that are being violated in the trafficking, but they will also deal with the legislation in regards to this subject, the impact of the existing prevention campaigns, the actions done both by the government or other organizations to prevent and fight human trafficking and the help being given to the victims that have been rescued.
Speakers: Sonia Sánchez (Co-author of “Ninguna mujer nace para puta” [“No Woman is Born to be a Whore”]), Viviana Caminos (National Coordinator of RATT Argentina: Red Alto al Tráfico, la Trata y a la Explotación Sexual Comercial de niños, niñas y adolescentes [Stop Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Teenagers Network]), Liliana Hendel (Journalist), Sandra Chaher (Journalist and Consultant in Communication and Gender - Comunicar Igualdad), La Alameda.

Music direction: Diego Vila
Artistic production: Lino Patalano
Directed by Luciano Suardi.
Through Tita o Ana Laura: “I am what I was in an inhuman world.” By: Virginia Inoccenti.
“They said, it was said, it is said...” It could be said that Tita Merello (1904-2002) was a “politically-incorrect” woman. She said (and did) a few things women was not allowed to say and she preferred to bite her tongue before saying something she didn’t believed in. She chose to sing the way one should not sing, so much so she claimed: “I have never sung, I have said.” She was a woman whose voice and manner attracted (and still do) masses of people. Both men and women were fascinated by the courage of someone who never tried to scam anybody. She said what it had to be said. No euphemisms, just straight out: to call a spade a spade. Make art for building up oneself, for saving oneself, and so saving us. To use art as a banner to transmit out loud what those in power insist to hide, to give a voice to what is meant to be silent. Create the path for those who come next. Open up spaces. She was friend of Discépolo and she sang (“said”), as nobody could have done it, the well-known “Cambalache”, and by singing “Tormenta” (“Storm”) (another song written by the same author), she lets herself say to God that her faith is tumbling because “love kills in Your name, Lord, what you have kissed” or because “evil people, Lord, live better than I do.” In the ranchera “No es por hablar mal” (“I don’t mean to be rude”), she sang: “but nowadays, compadre, even the most savvy and lazy ones are wealthy or politicians and they have this benefits thanks to their contacts.” She was too insolent for the time. She even asked women through television if they had the pap test done. She was one of those who don’t care about “being nice”, one of those who make the creeps and the self-servings feel uncomfortable... She was said to be bad, very bad! Women with a voice of their own are usually remembered more for the sour sense of humour than for her works… I also have many things to say, but I’m not as brave... So I put on her clothes, I pretend to be her and I sing her songs. I talk about the indelible pain hunger and abandonment give, about the price of loneliness —usually paid by those who don’t like to be humbled—, about the political proscription, about the bitter feelings which are aroused in some people by the “leap” in the social scale which only a few artists can achieve. I try to rescue her from oblivion, I understand her, I paraphrase her, I repeat her, I recreate her. I feel touched and I try to touch. I ask questions. I have fun. I play “let’s pretend” that thanks to memory someone can be immortal, and so I am, encouraged by the stage, for over an hour, myself, also “politically-incorrect”.
Guests: Virginia Innocenti, Daniel Rivas.

Panel Discussion and Screening “More shipwrecked than navigators”
“In this question of human rights, there’re more shipwrecked than navigators”
(Eduardo Galeano)
Screening: “More shipwrecked than navigators” by Guillermo Planel (97 min.)
The project “More shipwrecked than navigators” tries to analyse which are the human rights seen as legitimate in Latin America, having in mind that each country has its own view in this respect. Street violence, the right to have a job, to have drinking water, the natives’ question, the minorities’ organization and the oppression from the big drug trafficking groups are some of the most important issues in the current continent’s reality, apart from the infamous historical legacy of torture and repression left by the military dictatorships in the recent past. What is intended by doing this film is to expand the discussion about understanding the Human Rights concept, trying to analyse popular ideas that prevail about this and how each country takes part in Latin American unity. The documentary’s aim is to build a group of statements given by different personalities who have the understanding of evolution of Human Rights in Latin America and social and political reality in the region. Besides, there are some characters particularly interesting for this project. The participants of this project include names such as Eduardo Galeano, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Manu Chao, Fernando Solanas, Paulo Vannuchi, Rigoberta Menchú Tum, among others.
Speakers: Guillermo Planel (Photographer and Documentalist), Taty Almeida (Mothers of Plaza de Mayo – Founding Line), Alejandro Kaufman (Gino Germani Institute - UBA Social Science ‘s Faculty) and Hugo Cañon (President of the Provincial Memory Commission).

Panel Discussion - “Art and social transformation”
Discussion: Art is a space for expression which teaches about potentialities, dreams and freedom. It is not exactly a tool, since our perspective is that we do not create art for social transformation alone. Art is a goal but also, and above all, a journey. It constitutes a fundamental dimension for people and it is a privileged way for all, and particularly for those facing situations of exclusion and vulnerability, to exercise their rights both individually and collectively. The contact with Art makes us sensitive, activates itineraries, opens paths for social transformations because it transforms the human itself, be it a child or an adult. Based on the presentation of several artistic experiences for childhood and youth, the panel proposes to discuss the ways of doing, the achievements and challenges of such initiatives from the point of view of its actors.
Speakers: Provincial Commission for Memory, Platform for Memory and Human RIghts, Human Rights Office of the Municipality of Morón, Avellaneda Deliberative Council, “Gruppo Scuola” of the “Cinema e Diritti” Festival from Naples, Italy, Eduardo Balán (Cultura Viva Comunitaria Movement), Rita Stivala (Fisheye - Conviven Center), Claudio Espector (Chorus and Orchesta for the Bicentennial Program Coordinator - Argentine Ministry of Education).

La Perichona, a bar pioneer in this practice in the City of Buenos Aires, will open us its doors to offer a talk.
Speakers: Liliana Barela by the General Directorate Heritage and Historical Institute; Horacio Spinetto, the area of Cafés Notables and Luis O. Cortese, the area de Investigaciones Históricas and the guests of the delegation de la Ventana Naples.

Panel Discussion with Screening - “Native Peoples and territories. Net-shaping for land recovering”
Screening: “The children of the jaguar”, by Eriberto Gualinga (28 min).
Discussion: From the native perspective, land is viewed as property of the community and is directly related to identity, culture and everything that is sacred for them. Nowadays, land has been part of many economic disputes: agricultural businesses’ expansion, exploitation of resources for tourism, wood, petrol, etc. These situations happen almost always with the support of many politicians and the judiciary branch and it is certainly a tragic outlook that natives have been trying to battle against. But, we are now witnessing a new net-shaping for the recovery of land. With the help of many leaders, Argentine native peoples are achieving visibility for their complaints by means of an accurate articulation among several native groups that guaranteed their own rights.
The aim of the panel discussion is to analyze historically the conflict for the territory up to the contemporary legal struggle to acknowledge land as community property and to follow Act 26.160. Also, we will discuss the strengthening of communication and the political articulation among the different peoples, and between these and many human rights’ organizations that throughout the last years have become more involved in the claims of these minorities to access to land.
Speakers: Félix Díaz (Q’OM People’s Representative- La Primavera, Speaker of Native Peoples), Paula Pimentel (Communication in Asamblea Permanente por los Derechos Humanos - Permanent Assembly for Human Rights [APDH] La Matanza), Darío Rodríguez Duch (Pro-indian and Human Rights lawyer), Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta (Lawyer - Instituto Espacio por la Memoria [Platform for Memory Institute]), Lourdes Bascary (Coordinator in the field of Economic, social and cultural Rights in CELS).
Guest Directors: Mileidy Orozco Domicó (Colombia), Nicole Karsin (USA).
Moderator: Rubén Curricoy (Autonomous independent mapuche).

Screening and Performance - Actitud Peluche (Stuffed Toy attitude)
Film: “Based on real life” by Actitud Peluche (42 min).
Video installation with interventions by DJs, musicians and performers.
The journey of two stuffed toys’ heads. A gender look on identity, anonymity and love. Home as a space for creation. Clothing as a second skin; games as acts against gentrification and equalization. Life as performance. A movie about inspiration and transformation. Or…clothing as a second skin, the obsession for depicting privacy in order to get universality; love as a bridge to infinite; game as a savior; everyday documentation; sound and image as therapy. An in-fashion film.

Panel Discussion with Screening - Work in Progress “11 weeks, 23 hours, 59 minutes”.
Screening: “11 weeks, 23 hours, 59 minutes. Illegal Abortion in Argentina”, by Guadalupe Gómez Verdi, Lisa Franz y Léa Meurice/Ariel Arango Prada. (5 min.)
Three young female photographers. Three different nationalities - Argentine, German and French. Different ages, different education and different cultural backgrounds. They started working in order to fathom the reasons why in 21st-century Argentina abortion is still taboo and illegal, and why women’s rights to decide over their own bodies are still questioned. Through this clash between two continents, the Argentine reality defies their conception of women and makes them face the difficulty of understanding why in some countries women have yet not conquered the liberties that are to give them equality and autonomy, when in Germany and France abortion is legal and the women’s emancipation movement began four decades ago. With this photographic and audiovisual project, these three young women reveal stories and realities, expose struggles and show testimonies of many men and women who have experienced at least one abortion in their lives. Leaving aside political, religious and cultural ideologies, they strive to support women’s right to legal abortion with a profound belief in individual freedom.
Guests: actors and groups interviewed in the photographic project, Mabel Bellucci (Feminist and queer activist), Dr. Germán Cardoso (Member of the Argentinian Medical Group for woman’s right to choose in situations of undesired pregnancy), La Revuelta Feminist Collective, Gisela Volá (Photographers Sub Cooperative) and Lesbians and Feminists for decriminalization of abortion.

There are times in life where we have to go through things. We women, filled to the brim with frontiers and internal abysms, sooner or later receive the call to embark on a journey taking with us the stories, wounds and strengths that belonged to our female ancestors. This is Sofia’s story, the story of a woman that just like many others is going through the desert that will lead her home. On the way she will realize that the only thing that can give her courage and strength to make it through is the voice of those old stories that come alive every time someone needs to hear them.

Performance: Momentum Cero Group - Group dedicated to the experimentation with contact and corporal improvisation.
Is it possible to let ourselves go in a void, in nudity, while witnessing ourselves? We believe there’s nowhere to hold on to, nowhere to go, nothing to do, nothing to say, no pre-digested message to transmit. It’s simply about living the present, just being there with what you are. Is it possible to be “ready” for something we don’t know? Creating and composing in the immediacy of what’s unpredictable, beginning with the perspective that contact and corporal improvisation provide to see the realm of the body. Narrative, what takes place in that empty area, in that improvisation space, comes to us once again, but that happens when we are ready and awake to receive it.

Panel Discussion - “Art and social transformation”
Discussion: Art is a space for expression which teaches about potentialities, dreams and freedom. It is not exactly a tool, since our perspective is that we do not create art for social transformation alone. Art is a goal but also, and above all, a journey. It constitutes a fundamental dimension for people and it is a privileged way for all, and particularly for those facing situations of exclusion and vulnerability, to exercise their rights both individually and collectively. The contact with Art makes us sensitive, activates itineraries, opens paths for social transformations because it transforms the human itself, be it a child or an adult. Based on the presentation of several artistic experiences for childhood and youth, the panel proposes to discuss the ways of doing, the achievements and challenges of such initiatives from the point of view of its actors.
Speakers: Provincial Commission for Memory, Platform for Memory and Human RIghts, Human Rights Office of the Municipality of Morón, Avellaneda Deliberative Council, “Gruppo Scuola” of the “Cinema e Diritti” Festival from Naples, Italy, Eduardo Balán (Cultura Viva Comunitaria Movement), Rita Stivala (Fisheye - Conviven Center), Claudio Espector (Chorus and Orchesta for the Bicentennial Program Coordinator - Argentine Ministry of Education).

Panel Discussion with Screening - “Native Peoples and territories. Net-shaping for land recovering”
Screening: “The children of the jaguar”, by Eriberto Gualinga (28 min).
Discussion: From the native perspective, land is viewed as property of the community and is directly related to identity, culture and everything that is sacred for them. Nowadays, land has been part of many economic disputes: agricultural businesses’ expansion, exploitation of resources for tourism, wood, petrol, etc. These situations happen almost always with the support of many politicians and the judiciary branch and it is certainly a tragic outlook that natives have been trying to battle against. But, we are now witnessing a new net-shaping for the recovery of land. With the help of many leaders, Argentine native peoples are achieving visibility for their complaints by means of an accurate articulation among several native groups that guaranteed their own rights.
The aim of the panel discussion is to analyze historically the conflict for the territory up to the contemporary legal struggle to acknowledge land as community property and to follow Act 26.160. Also, we will discuss the strengthening of communication and the political articulation among the different peoples, and between these and many human rights’ organizations that throughout the last years have become more involved in the claims of these minorities to access to land.
Speakers: Félix Díaz (Q’OM People’s Representative- La Primavera, Speaker of Native Peoples), Paula Pimentel (Communication in Asamblea Permanente por los Derechos Humanos - Permanent Assembly for Human Rights [APDH] La Matanza), Darío Rodríguez Duch (Pro-indian and Human Rights lawyer), Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta (Lawyer - Instituto Espacio por la Memoria [Platform for Memory Institute]), Lourdes Bascary (Coordinator in the field of Economic, social and cultural Rights in CELS).

The journey of two stuffed toys’ heads. A gender look on identity, anonymity and love. Home as a space for creation. Clothing as a second skin; games as acts against gentrification and equalization. Life as performance. A movie about inspiration and transformation. Or…clothing as a second skin, the obsession for depicting privacy in order to get universality; love as a bridge to infinite; game as a savior; everyday documentation; sound and image as therapy. An in-fashion film.

Panel Discussion with Screening - Work in Progress “11 weeks, 23 hours, 59 minutes”.
Screening: “11 weeks, 23 hours, 59 minutes. Illegal Abortion in Argentina”, by Guadalupe Gómez Verdi, Lisa Franz y Léa Meurice/Ariel Arango Prada. (5 min.)
Three young female photographers. Three different nationalities - Argentine, German and French. Different ages, different education and different cultural backgrounds. They started working in order to fathom the reasons why in 21st-century Argentina abortion is still taboo and illegal, and why women’s rights to decide over their own bodies are still questioned. Through this clash between two continents, the Argentine reality defies their conception of women and makes them face the difficulty of understanding why in some countries women have yet not conquered the liberties that are to give them equality and autonomy, when in Germany and France abortion is legal and the women’s emancipation movement began four decades ago.

Workshop “Women’s Circle - Heart Dance”
Women’s circles are niches that allow us women to get together, learn, heal and find ourselves in our sisters’ eyes. This is a net that flows and offers support, that puts us in contact with Mother Earth and makes us remember the wisdom that dwells in our bodies, the ancient wisdom of our linage. This circle is a place where we can be safe, a loving and healing place —Mother Earth’s uterus. Here we will open our hearts and we will connect ourselves with our female strength. We invite you to participate. Come with comfortable clothes, preferably a long skirt, which will let you connect with your femininity.

It does not refer solely to the repeated interruptions of the constitutional order, the police violence and what the State “should not do”, but also to the mechanisms of exclusion which resulted in the violation of a number of rights, specially for the more vulnerable sectors of the population: the lack of access to Justice, the repression and criminalization of manifestations and social conflicts, the inhuman prison conditions, the precarization at work, the sudden evictions and, in general, the statal omission concerning the guarantee of economic, social and cultural rights.

Panel discussion with screening - “Sahrawi Problems”
Screening: “Imagine sleeping at home” by Josep Sanmartín (54 min).
Discussion: The panel discussion will deal with Sahrawi people’s drama: they are suffering a great injustice because they have been waiting, as a kind of colony in Africa, since 1964 the implementation of UN’s resolutions for the decolonization process. This resolution is registered, alongside the claims for Malvinas Islands, in the UN Committee of 24 (Special Committee on Decolonization). Sahrawi people and their territory are divided: one part is exile and Freed zones, and other part is under Moroccan military occupation. This division is marked by a 2700 km wall, called Shame Wall. Today, this wall, as many others in history, split in half families, land and spread devastation and death with millions of mines, wires, sophisticated Radars and 150 000 soldiers…The wall isolates from the rest of the world the occupied territories of Western Sahara with a very strong blockage that has no other precedent in humans’ history. They are subject to a permanent surveillance by a riot gear that counts with thousands Moroccan security agents and that has no mercy: neither children and old people nor the rest of beings have escaped from its cruelty; sea and terrestrial resources were also exhausted. From October 31, 1975, Sahrawis have been suffering every day the systematic and painful violation of the most fundamental human rights, repression, random arrests, forced disappearances, kidnappings, summary judgements…all reprehensible facts that ressemble Argentinian’s recent history. These practices are confirmed by UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Argentinian Juan Méndez) and denounced by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Front Line, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, the World Organization Against Torture (Organización Mundial contra la Tortura, OMCT) and every Argentinian Human Rights’ organization.

Panel discussion with screening - “Sahrawi Problems”
Screening: “Imagine sleeping at home” by Josep Sanmartín (54 min).
Discussion: The panel discussion will deal with Sahrawi people’s drama: they are suffering a great injustice because they have been waiting, as a kind of colony in Africa, since 1964 the implementation of UN’s resolutions for the decolonization process. This resolution is registered, alongside the claims for Malvinas Islands, in the UN Committee of 24 (Special Committee on Decolonization). Sahrawi people and their territory are divided: one part is exile and Freed zones, and other part is under Moroccan military occupation. This division is marked by a 2700 km wall, called Shame Wall. Today, this wall, as many others in history, split in half families, land and spread devastation and death with millions of mines, wires, sophisticated Radars and 150 000 soldiers…The wall isolates from the rest of the world the occupied territories of Western Sahara with a very strong blockage that has no other precedent in humans’ history. They are subject to a permanent surveillance by a riot gear that counts with thousands Moroccan security agents and that has no mercy: neither children and old people nor the rest of beings have escaped from its cruelty; sea and terrestrial resources were also exhausted. From October 31, 1975, Sahrawis have been suffering every day the systematic and painful violation of the most fundamental human rights, repression, random arrests, forced disappearances, kidnappings, summary judgements…all reprehensible facts that ressemble Argentinian’s recent history. These practices are confirmed by UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Argentinian Juan Méndez) and denounced by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Front Line, the Robert F.
