| description |
Oblivion - the opposite mask or reverse of the plot of historical memory - is a form of protection and camouflage because postulating a statement as the only valid one obviates the possibility of the emergence of other possible ones. Nevertheless, from the interstices, subaltern statements emerge to question the universality of hegemony and offer alternatives that allow us to remember that the social construction of reality is a complex process, full of contradictory voices and, therefore, open to multiple possibilities of answers and senses capable of opening up numerous shortcuts to the possible.The mural "Las olvidadas del bicentenario" painted on the wall of a school in Dolores, a Buenos Aires city located halfway between Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, despite its meager dimensions - 1.30 m by 1.50 - in the first place, promotes questions about the absence of the afrodescendant woman in the celebrations for the Bicentennial of the foundation of that village in 2017 and, secondly, invites reflection on the naturalization of the oblivion of Afro-American cultures in the narration of local history.It is conjectured that such omission is the result of intellectual laziness that prevents the guardians of local memory from asking themselves new questions about meaning. But, at the same time, this suppression is articulated with another of greater importance: an absolute ignorance about the existence of the International Decade of Afrodescendants, which under the theme "Afrodescendants: recognition, justice and development", began on 1 January 2015 and will end on 31 December 2024 established by the United Nations General Assembly on 30/12/2013. |

El olvido -cara opuesta o revés de la trama de la memoria histórica- es una forma de protección y camuflaje porque al postular un enunciado como el único válido se obtura la posibilidad de emergencia de otros posibles. No obstante, desde los intersticios, rebrotan los enunciados subalternos para cuestionar la universalidad de la hegemonía y ofrecer alternativas que permitan recordar que la construcción social de la realidad es un proceso complejo, lleno de voces contradictorias y, por eso mismo, abierto a múltiples posibilidades de respuestas y sentidos capaces de abrir numerosos atajos a lo posible. El mural “Las olvidadas del bicentenario” pintado en la pared de una escuela en Dolores, ciudad bonaerense situada a mitad de camino entre Buenos Aires y Mar del Plata, a pesar de sus exiguas dimensiones -1,30 m por 1, 50 - en primer lugar, promueve interrogantes acerca de la ausencia de la mujer afrodescendiente en los festejos por el Bicentenario de la fundación de aquel pueblo en 2017 y, en segundo término, invita a la reflexión en torno a la naturalización del olvido de las culturas afroamericanas en la narración de la historia local. Se conjetura que tal omisión es el resultado de la pereza intelectual que impide a los guardianes de la memoria local plantearse nuevas preguntas acerca del sentido. Pero, asimismo, esa supresión se articula con otra de mayor envergadura: un absoluto desconocimiento sobre la existencia del Decenio Internacional de los Afrodescendientes, que bajo el tema “Afrodescendientes: reconocimiento, justicia y desarrollo”, comenzó el 1 de enero de 2015 y terminará el 31 de diciembre de 2024 establecido por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidades el 30/12/2013.
