[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: This is an untitled work by León Ferrari, made from newspaper. It’s jarring to see violent headlines presented so plainly. What does this reveal about the time period it comes from? Curator: Ferrari often used newspapers to critique political realities, particularly in Latin America. By presenting these headlines starkly, he forces us to confront the everyday normalization of violence and oppression under authoritarian regimes. How does the date, 1976, factor into your understanding? Editor: I see… 1976 was a time of dictatorships across South America. So, this piece isn't just showing the news, it's protesting it. Curator: Precisely. Ferrari used the power of the press against itself, creating a potent form of visual resistance. Editor: That gives me a lot to consider. I see it’s a commentary on the role of media and the power dynamics of the time. Thanks!
