Summary

Artistic practices at the ESMA Museum and Site of Memory, located on the former clandestine detention center during Argentina's dictatorship, play a pivotal role in fostering consensus while addressing intergenerational trauma. The study reveals that through installations and performances, art serves as a catalyst for public debate, conflict resolution, and the transmission of traumatic memories. This approach demonstrates how spaces of memory can leverage artistic expression to bridge generational divides and promote social healing.
