Working with Memory To Avoid Repeating the Horror
Dr MarÃa Luisa Ortiz will discuss the role of museums as promoters of memory and human rights, drawing on the case of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile. The museum's programme of memory and its promotion of human rights awareness has covered a variety of areas, from repression and violence to exile and indigenous communities. The museum runs a programme of oral interviews, recording life experiences and preserving them for future research. MarÃa Luisa will discuss the challenges and the benefits of this work in Chile today.
