This exhibit centers on Marcelo Brodsky’s mural-sized photograph of his 1967 eighth-grade class, transformed into a powerful record of Argentina’s dictatorship. After returning from exile in 1994, Brodsky reunited his classmates and traced what had happened to each of them during the Dirty War. On the photo, he marked the fates of his peers in crayon, and those with a red crossed circle are the classmates who were disappeared or killed by the military regime and never seen again. By traveling to interview classmates abroad and documenting their stories, Brodsky turned a simple school portrait into a visual act of memory, truth, and acknowledgment of state terror.
