Cultural Agenda for the Month of Memory: what to do this weekend in La Plata 50 years after the coup
La Plata breathes memory. After a week full of institutional events, art and community gatherings take over to «close» the tributes for the 50th anniversary of March 24, 1976. Here we present the most notable events for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
And, while we talk about “closing” the week and month of Remembrance, the city and the country are expected to maintain the energy of the last days for the rest of the year; that the poetic, artistic and cultural interventions on Memory, Truth and Justice continue, so that the old and new generations keep in mind all year round the history that marked our country.
