Patricia Perez Valdes, KSC-AIPR Global Fellow, Keene State College
Patricia addressed 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 focused 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.
