Le 24 mars 1976, les forces armées ont pris le pouvoir en Argentine, entamant le chapitre le plus sanglant de son histoire. Exils, censure, interdictions, listes noires et enlèvements sont devenus monnaie courante, s’attaquant au domaine culturel qui souffrait déjà depuis un certain temps de la répression militaire. Tant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur du pays, différentes formes de résistance nouvelles et inédites sont nées.
