La última guerra

The War of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay is synonymous with catastrophe. The international conflict, which begins in 1864 and ends in 1870, resulted in the death of sixty percent of the Paraguayan population, ninety percent of troops from Uruguay and two hundred thousand Argentines and Brazilians. The war had disastrous impacts on the economic, social, political and cultural development of the four countries. Images emerged to demarcate and frame humanity within this devastation. La última guerra seeks an interdisciplinary reflection on the war with an emphasis on the images generated and their persistence to today.
