The Marc Museum (Argentina) will use the Grant to produce the series of exhibitions "La Guerra es una gran porquería" (‘The War is a Filthy Thing’), related to the Chaco War (1932-1935). The shows are intended to recover the museum's foundational Americanist vocation and, for the first time, will include the participation of artists and curators from other Latin American countries, making possible the salvage of historical pieces, promoting the restitution of others to their original contexts and reactivating processes of memory and identity. The support will be granted to the Association of Friends of the Historical Museum of Rosario.
Museo Histórico Provincial de Rosario “Dr. Julio Marc” was inaugurated in 1939 in Rosario, Argentina, with the mission of reflecting on national identity rooted in a fusion of the indigenous and colonial past. Its monumental building was designed by Ángel Guido, being the first and only building in the country designed and built especially for a history museum. Since 2017, its Director Pablo Montini has consensualized a new mission for the Marc Museum to become an inclusive museum that celebrates diversity and plurality with the purpose of critically revealing the history of the inhabitants and territories of South America, Argentina, and the province of Santa Fe, connecting the past with the problems and social demands of the present. The Museo Marc is dedicated to expand, preserve, research and disseminate its collection, promoting the encounter of diverse audiences with history and its sources, through multiple, transformative, and innovative experiences.
