Protests are part of the landscape of Buenos Aires. As a social activist I have played my part in them for several years, recording images and video as a member of the press team for the Movimiento Popular Nuestramérica. I am always on the move, trying to cover what happens.
Recently the Cap March made a big impact on me. It was an outpouring of young people from the popular neighbourhoods wearing their characteristic caps, which are often accompanied by sportswear and jazzy sneakers. Dressing that way, being young and racialized, is enough to be considered suspect by the security forces, without having done anything wrong, just for existing. The Cap March denounced this view that some lives are ‘good’ and others are not.
