Entre Ríos and the Parable of Artigas

Within the framework of the activities for the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence carried out by the Bicentennial Commission, this Thursday the presentation of the book "Artigas y Entre Ríos: La Parábola de Artigas" will take place, with the presence of the authors.

Developed as specific responses to more than thirty questions, collected over several years in numerous training workshops, discussion talks, and panels, which were carried out by professors Balbi and Richardet, the book addresses the feat of Artigas and the Free Peoples. 

The work, written from a critical Latin American perspective, will be presented this Thursday, July 7th at 7:00 PM at the Civic Center (Mitre and Pellegrini, 4th floor). Professors Gladis María Balbi and Alejandro J. Richardet, authors of the book, together with Alejandro Casañas, will address the figure of General Artigas and his connection with our province, and the relationship between the two declarations of Independence, that of Arroyo de la China (Concepción del Uruguay) and that of Tucumán.

The activity is organized by the CGE Coordination of Education and Memory and the "Simón Bolívar" Educators Group, together with the Municipal Directorate of Institutional Relations and the Administrative Commission for the Special Funds of Salto Grande (CAFESG), within the framework of the Bicentennial Commission. Participation is free and open to the public.
