Editor: This untitled work by León Ferrari consists of newspaper clippings, probably from around 1976, judging by the handwritten dates. The overall effect is quite stark and unsettling. What do you make of it? Curator: It whispers of silenced voices. Ferrari often used collage to critique political regimes, especially the Argentine dictatorship. Do you notice how the headlines, "Mother strikes for missing son" and "German government asks for two disappeared", create a haunting resonance? Editor: Yes, it's like fragments of a suppressed narrative, piecing together a story of loss and political turmoil. Curator: Exactly! It's a powerful reminder of how art can become a form of resistance, a space to mourn and to remember. Editor: It makes you think about the power of the press, and what happens when its voice is stifled. Curator: Absolutely.
