During the Open Studio on July 17, and related to the work that the Misiones’ artist Maflo Martínez , we hosted a talk by the Misiones’ activist Nélida Wisneke, who spoke about “The Afro Presence in Misiones, from Invisibility to Current Activism.”
In that context, the writer donated a copy of her book “No te olvides”(Do Not Forgett) to the ´ace library, a literary work that is narrated in two languages, Portuguese and Spanish, and in various literary formats: prose, lyricism, and verses, which are popular and widely used among the peasantry that inhabits the border with the Uruguay River, Brazil, and the province of Misiones, from which the author is a native.
