Quotes
“Looking back would imply living in the past as if it were the present…and that’s something that I can’t wrap my head around. What’s done is done, the rest is up to you.”
Laura Bonaparte, El Tiempo Suspendido
“In response to the Dirty War, the environment of fear, and lack of free speech, street art,”became a public voice, and in the decades that followed, it has continued to be part of an activist culture of art.”
Allison Mier (2013)
