Constant Consensus Building

Artistic practices play a pivotal role in fostering consensus and addressing intergenerational trauma in spaces of memory, such as the ESMA Museum and Site of Memory. This study demonstrates that through artistic installations and performances, public debate, conflict, and tension can be productively channeled to facilitate collective reflection on Argentina's traumatic past. The research highlights how these art-driven initiatives contribute to the transmission and processing of traumatic memories, ultimately supporting societal healing and consensus-building. The approach combines historical analysis with qualitative methods, examining the museum's development, social role, and its impact on public discourse.
