Honoring the Victims of the Pinochet Years

Patricia Perez Valdes, KSC-AIPR Global Fellow will speak on “Honoring the Victims of the Pinochet Years at Chile’s Museum of Memory and Human Rights.” She will address this topic drawing from her years of experience in the Education and Audience Department of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, located in Santiago, Chile. Her talk will focus on the legacy of Chile’s military dictatorship from 1973-1990, the importance of memorialization in the construction of memory as a society, and the challenges faced by the museum since it was inaugurated in January of 2010.
