"Everything is pinned in memory" sang Leon Gieco, famous Argentinian singer in a song about the period of the dictatorship. Nothing could be more true, especially if the facts were very serious and the memory is relatively recent. The seven years of dictatorship which ended in 1983, the last and most fierce among the several in twentieth century's Argentina, is definitely still an open wound for this lively South American people. In order to preserve the memory, spread and maintain the culture of the civil and human rights, give a cultural space to the city and why not, a playground, the complex ESMA (Escuela Mecanica de la Armada) was expropriated from the national army: the now called "Espacio Memoria y Derechos Humanos" is home to a myriad of civil society associations. A place of death and repression is now filled with life and culture of freedom.
