Mères et Grands-Mères de la Place de Mai Garden

The Jardin des Mères et Grands-Mères de la Place de Mai features a stark, central monument of white stone amidst the greenery. This space honors the women of Argentina who gathered in Buenos Aires throughout the late twentieth century to demand answers about their children and grandchildren, who were forcibly disappeared during the military dictatorship. The garden serves as a permanent site of reflection in Paris, linking the history of South American human rights struggles to a quiet, residential pocket of the fifteenth arrondissement.
