Illustrating not to forget

"Illustrating not to forget" is a memory registration project that visualizes and documents, through illustrations, the architecture that shapes the identity and cultural landscape of Buenos Aires. It recounts the thread of memory and represents both tangible and intangible heritage, which is being systematically, swiftly, and continuously demolished despite being in good condition.
Illustrating the architecture that represents us and inhabited our everyday landscape and urban fabric (matrix), and that we are likely to forget upon its sudden disappearance, followed by showing the senseless void after the illustration, is a powerful artistic way to sensitively engage citizens. This process organically awakens reflection and participatory action in those who inhabit and feel (or begin to develop the feeling of) topophilia, which means love for the territory.
