Here’s your recommendations for this weekend in Buenos Aires. With the anniversary of the 1976 coup, now, more than ever, is the time to be informed and stand up for what you believe in. And this weekend is a great place to start.

Herald Event: Journalism and Human Rights

Saturday 22 — 4 p.m.
Casa Nuestros Hijos, Ex-ESMA (Av. del Libertador 8151)
Free entry

For decades, the press has worked side by side with human rights activists to document truth and demand justice. On the anniversary of one of Argentina’s darkest moments, we come together to honor the power of journalism and collective memory.

Join the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo — Founding Line and the Buenos Aires Herald for a poignant event set to mark a historic moment, as the Herald will donate items from its archive to the Mothers’s permanent exhibition.

You will be able to see history in print: copies of the original newspaper with coverage of the dictatorship, the struggle of the Mothers, and the silenced voices of the disappeared.

The event will also feature a panel discussion with top journalists, including Noelia Barral Grigera (IP / Cenital), Juan Amorín (C5N / Futurock), and Victoria Ginzberg (Página/12), moderated by our managing editor, Amy Booth.

There will also be a march at 4:30 p.m. on Monday the 24th down Avenida de Mayo all the way to the Casa Rosada to remember the 1976 coup that brought the military dictatorship to power.

Museo Moderno Exhibit: Celina Eceiza’s Ofrenda

Monday, Wednesday through Friday: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Runs through March 30
Museo Moderno (Av. San Juan 350. San Telmo)
ARS$2,500 for residents, ARS$10,000 for foreigners, Wednesdays free entry

This exhibit at Museo Moderno runs through the end of the month, so if you haven’t seen it yet, get down there. It’s the first solo exhibition in an Argentine museum by the young artist Celina Eceiza (Tandil, 1988). The immersive project takes up the entire top floor of the museum with colorful fabrics, canvas, pillows, stitching and structures all put together in a silly, joyous manner.

Paintings, drawings, and sculptures coexist in this exhibit — both tiny and colossal, with lots of patchwork and collage, plaster, and pastel chalk. There’s a fluidity and softness in the world she’s created, which features playful bodies, flowers and fruits.
