Parque de la Memoria
— Monument to the Victims of State Terrorism
The Memory Park is a fourteen-hectare public space located on the Costanera Norte (North Riverfront) of the City of Buenos Aires. Its location facing the Río de la Plata (River Plate) has a profound symbolic and reparative character, as it stands at the site where the so-called "death flights" were carried out, one of the most brutal methods of forced disappearance implemented by the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983).
As a monument and memorial site, the grounds house the names carved in stone of thousands of people detained, disappeared, and murdered by state terrorism and paramilitary political violence. Establishing itself as a fundamental element in human rights education, the Park integrates its commemorative dimension with an active cultural program through its contemporary art exhibition hall, a public art program featuring outdoor sculptures, and an educational area that coordinates guided tours and activities with schools.
The complexity of communicating in an environment of this nature lies in the need to articulate historical and documentary rigor with contemporary aesthetic proposals that actively engage the public.
For several years, I was part of the team responsible for conceptualizing, materializing, and visually unifying the various dimensions that coexist in the Park, ranging from the design of normative identity systems to the development of artistic exhibitions and interactive resources.
Institutional identity
My work encompassed the development of a comprehensive graphic ecosystem designed to engage with the urban environment, the commemorative space, and the digital community:
Identity and Signage. Application of institutional branding regulations and design of the signage system for the property of more than 14 hectares.
Digital Communication. Institutional website design. Visual planning of corporate templates, press releases and social media materials intended to publicize anniversaries, announcements and activities of the organization.
Educational Materials. Design and layout of interactive multimedia resources for the education sector.
Exhibitions
The PAyS Hall ("Present, Now and Forever") is the central hub for the organization's cultural activities. Its exhibition program proposes a dynamic intersection between past and present, aiming to explore, from a poetic perspective, various topics related to memory, human rights, and the tensions between art, history, and politics.
In this role, I was responsible for translating the curatorial thesis of each exhibition into a unique museographic, editorial, and communicational visual system. Throughout my tenure, I collaborated with curators, artists, cultural institutions, and graphic production providers on the development of more than 20 exhibitions.
