Operation Condor audio-visual productions now live
Three new audio-visual productions on Operation Condor, a transnational campaign of state terror against political activists in exile in South America in the 1970s, are available in both English and Spanish at the new platform: plancondor.org
They were created by Dr Francesca Lessa with Uruguayan award winning cartoonist, Sebastian Santana Camargo, pozodeagua production (Macarena Montanez and Pincho Casanova), and feature original music by Uruguayan musician, Diego Presa.
The creation of the audio-visual productions, as well as the website, are supported by the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account of the University of Oxford. This project is carried out in collaboration with Uruguayan, Argentine, and Chilean project partners.
