| Summary: | This article presents and analyses the relationship between art, struggles for memory and the disputes that are inscribed in urban space when different social actors seek to position a narrative of the violent past that questions forms of negationism through which the participation of state agents in the deaths illegitimately presented as combat casualties is rejected. The reflection focuses on the mural Who gave the order?, which is part of the Campaign for Truth with which the National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (Movimiento Nacional de Víctimas de Crímenes de Estado, MOVICE) and other human rights organizations are following up Case 3: “Killings and forced disappearances presented as casualties in combat by state agents”. It shows how the mural is a form of representation of the recent past that enables a way of seeing and a way of questioning the present. In addition to proposing a relational aesthetic that installs a tension in the urban space by questioning the citizen about events about which there is no truth, and which are surrounded by impunity and silence. |
