Project: Human Rights Tattoo - Jornada abierta de tatuajes (Tattoo Day)
Film: “Een Koffer vol Verhalen” (A Suitcase Filled With Stories) by Joost van der Werf (40 min). Invited tattoo artists: Mandinga Tattoo, Guillermo Caldentey (Cancerbero Tattoo & Piercing Supplies), Bruking, Daniel Demilio, Black Queen Tattoo, Popiz Urrere Pon, Agostina Perrone, Gastón Cabrera. The Human Rights Tattoo project is an art proposal for raising awareness and highlighting the importance of Human Rights. The objective is to tattoo the complete text of the Declaration, letter by letter. The full text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights contains 6,773 letters, and each letter will be tattooed on different individuals; therefore, 6,773 people throughout the world will be united by the Declaration. Human Rights Tattoo aims to connect individuals from different countries at human level. By tattooing one of the most important texts in the history of mankind, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, on a group of 6,773 individuals all over the world, a living work of art is created which connects all these people into one entity: they are joined by what they believe in and protect, equality always prevailing, as all letters have the same value. This activity turns Human Rights Tattoo into a community work of art in its purest sense: created with, for and by the community.

Invited Lecturers: Sub Coop., M.A.F.I.A., Facción Latina, Frecuencia Zero FM, Hecho en Bs. As. magazine.
Latin American groups of photographers and new communication platforms have created a basis of information and media democratization. They communicate from the concept of collectivity, which arose from the search for social and cultural transformation and was generated from multiple shared processes. The aim is to narrate stories using interdisciplinary languages towards joint construction and networking, using the Internet as an independent space and images and words as fields for political and social action. Journalism viewed as resistance.

Panel Discussion with Screening: De género y sexo: miradas en torno a una identidad trans (Gender and Sex: An Approach to Transsexual Identity)
Film: “Hoe Ky Niels werd” (How Ky turned into Niels) by Els van Driel for Ikon Just Kids (20 min).
Invited Lecturers: Lohana Berkins (Head of the Oficina de Justicia, Identidad de Género y Orientación Sexual [Office of Justice, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation] for the Observatorio de Género en la Justicia [Argentinian Observatory of Gender in The Legal System]), Marlene Wayar (transsexual activist, Director of El Teje transvestite newspaper and Coordinator of Futuro Transgenérico [The Future of Transgender]), Taco Ruighaver (Movies that Matter, Netherlands), Francisco Quiñones Cuartas (Headmaster of the secondary school for transsexuals “Mocha Celis”), third-year graduates from the secondary school for transsexuals “Mocha Celis”, and Marcela Romero (President of the Argentinian Association of Transvestites, Transsexuals and Transgenders, ATTTA, and General Secretary of the Argentinian Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans, FALGBT).
The idea of gender as a construct and the positive shift of the meaning of “weird”, driven by the Queer perspective, have generated new possibilities to rethink identities, beyond the binary separation of sexual orientation based on heterosexuality. In this context, the transgender experience significantly shows the deepening of these discussions regarding the traditional concepts of sexuality and gender and the limits imposed by the rigidity of categories such as “homosexual”, “gay” or “lesbian”. How did these changes impact the struggle for and guarantee of rights in this field?

Film: “Triangle” by Constanza Quatriglio (63 min).
Invited Lecturers: Asamblea Textil de Flores (Assembly for Textile Workers’ Rights based in Flores neighborhood), Verónica Gago (holder of Doctor’s degree in Social Science, professor in University of Buenos Aires and University of San Martin, and member of Situaciones militant research collective) and Liliana Hendel (psychologist and journalist).
104 years after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York, which resulted in the death of 123 worker women -many of them teenagers and young immigrants- and gave birth to the International Women’s Day, we are faced with the reality of existing sweatshops and other aspects of labor under poor conditions. In textile sweatshops or agricultural activities, the key elements supporting this system are present: advancement expectations and unfulfilled promises, mediators, abusive relationships and inhumane working conditions resulting in the suppression of workers’ rights. The majority of exploited workers are immigrants, mostly poor women and children. They are all silenced by authorities themselves, justice systems, and a society immersed in a consumerist logic that fosters huge trafficking networks and chains which intend to be invisible, but come to light when tragedies occur.

The Armenian genocide (1915-1923) is considered the first genocide in modern history, the first massacre of the 20th Century, resulting from the systematic and premeditated killing of Armenians by the Turkish government in the Ottoman Empire. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the genocide recognized by a vast percentage of the international community, yet denied by Turkey, entails recognizing the identity of a community and recreating a memory despite the attempts to consign the crimes committed to eternal oblivion. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the genocide in Argentina, a country which pushes forward important policies on human rights and which was adopted by a vast number of Armenians, entails joining the struggle against denial and oblivion, in furthering the struggle for human rights, memory, freedom of speech, truth, justice and identity for all Armenians. To recognize is to remember and never forget.

Film: “Voices of transition” by Nils Aguilar (52 min).
Invited Lecturers: Remo Vénica and Irmina Kleiner (Naturaleza Viva agroecological farm), Johanna Sapoznik (El Brote Urbano), Claudio Leveratto (agronomist, Coordinator of the Agroecology major, University of La Matanza, head of the Agencia de Extensión Urbano norte (Tigre), EEA AMBA INTA Agricultural Experimental Station).
Seeking to face the modern and impractical agricultural model, focused on an extraction-based concept and the use of non-renewable resources, agroecology is presented as an alternative which integrates other forms of production: zero use of pesticides and genetically-engineered seeds, less dependency on external supplies and sustainable productivity with minimum or no impact on the environment. Furthermore, it reflects upon and raises concerns about the position of humanity in production; progress in this field has reached the large-scale transformation and sale of agroecological products, thus changing the quality of life for producers and consumers. A reality that is built through a network of networks.

Panel Discussion - Independientes e interconectados: redes nacionales e internacionales de producción, distribución y exhibición audiovisual (Independent and Interconnected: national and international networks of audiovisual production, distribution and exhibition)
Invited Lecturers: Taco Ruighaver (Movies that Matter, Netherlands), Olivia Welke (Festival des Libertés, Belgium), Uli Stelzner (International Film Exhibition Memory, Truth and Justice - Window to Guatemala), Liliana Amate (member of Red Argentina de Festivales y Muestras Audiovisuales, RAFMA [Argentinian Network of Audiovisual Festivals and Exhibitions], INCAA’s Short Films Division Coordinator, Director of UNCIPAR), Francesca Casariego (Tenemos que Ver Festival, Uruguay), Asociación de Realizadores Integrales de Cine Documental de Argentina -RDI- [Association of Documentary Filmmakers in Argentina]).
The generation of audiovisual networks has been deemed a fundamental strategy for the development of production, distribution and exhibition tasks, within the framework of independent movies and away from the mega-structures of film productions intended for commercial and large-scale releases. Apart from ensuring the coexistence of non-hegemonic perspectives and showing different realities, these networks, which are enhanced by the Festival, also succeed in guaranteeing the right of the audience to access different points of view, thus collaborating with the process of construction of a critical eye which acknowledges the Other.

Panel discussion with Screening. Book Presentation: “Historia de una desobediencia. Aborto y feminismo.” (A Tale of Disobedience. Abortion and Feminism) by Mabel Bellucci
Film: “A Quiet Inquisition” by Holen Sabrina Kahn and Alessandra Zeka (66 min).
Invited Lecturers: Mabel Bellucci (essayist, journalist and Queer activist), Melina Sánchez, Andrea Liñan (La Mestiza Pre/Post-Abortion Counsellor at Seamos Libres (Be Free Association) and member of Socorristas en Red por Capital Federal [BA Abortion Rescuers], Julián Rodríguez (feminist gynecologist), Ariel Glickman (feminist gynecologist).
The struggle for the right to legal abortion in Argentina arose from the work of women and feminist groups, who still continue defending this prioritized claim of feminism under the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free-of-Charge Abortion. This is a struggle that claims for rights, for the freedom of choice over women’s own bodies and for freedom itself, accompanied by the growing actions of women and other social and cultural movements. Abortion has been acknowledged as an issue of public health, social justice and women’s human rights. This is why, until abortion becomes legal in Argentina, the struggle for decriminalization and legalization will continue involving rebel, disobedient, united and coordinated women to help others who decide to abort, participate in discussions and break from the hetero-capitalist and patriarchal view of abortion.
