all the latest news about the Argentina National Football team in English River Plate Humiliated Vélez and Sent a Message to Barros Schelotto in Memory of the 2018 Copa LibertadoresRiver Plate fans displayed a banner in one of the stands at El Monumental with a message aimed at Guillermo Barros Schelotto that wasn’t shown on the TV broadcastThese are happy days for River Plate fans they defeated Boca Juniors in the Superclásico and caused the dismissal of Fernando Gago they’ve humiliated Vélez Sarsfield at El Monumental and fans didn’t miss the chance to send a message to Guillermo Barros Schelotto in memory of the 2018 Copa Libertadores Guillermo Barros Schelotto was still the coach of Boca Juniors where he had arrived in March 2016 after playing for the club during his career as a footballer He managed the team for 117 matches and won the Argentine Professional League for two consecutive seasons (2016/2017 and 2017/2018) matches against River Plate were always his weak spot… and the loss in the 2018 Copa Libertadores final held at the Santiago Bernabéu sealed his fate That memory still lingers among River Plate fans who hadn’t faced him again since that Copa Libertadores final as he later moved to LA Galaxy and then became head coach of the Paraguay national team since he was announced as the new Vélez Sarsfield coach on March 19 River Plate fans had marked Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s visit to El Monumental as a moment they wouldn’t let pass—and welcomed him as if he were descending into hell From the moment his name was announced over the stadium’s loudspeakers Guillermo Barros Schelotto was loudly booed the most controversial moment was a banner shown in one of the stands at El Monumental that wasn’t caught on TV “No one beats us,” was the phrase it displayed The same phrase Barros Schelotto had said in March 2018 after losing the Argentine Supercup to River back when he was still coaching Boca Juniors A bold provocation by the River Plate fans that ended in a thrashing of a Vélez team that hasn’t managed to find its form under Guillermo Barros Schelotto I’ll only talk about today’s match,” he said after the game when asked in the press conference about that Copa Libertadores final loss at the Santiago Bernabéu which undoubtedly marked a turning point in Barros Schelotto’s career own shares in or receive funding from any company or

View all partners Pope Francis’ journey from the streets of Flores Jorge Bergoglio was raised in a middle-class family of Italian Catholic immigrants He became a priest in 1969, Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and took on the papacy in 2013. As Pope Francis, his dedication to social justice was deeply rooted in the Latin American context poverty and political upheaval greatly influenced his perspective Bergoglio, a devoted supporter of the San Lorenzo soccer team, was also a confident tango dancer, mate drinker, and an unconditional admirer of his compatriot, Jorge Luis Borges one of the most influential writers of the 20th century In 1965, the two men collaborated on the publication of short stories written by Bergoglio’s literature students. The students had been inspired by a seminar led by Borges, organised by the young priest Borges thought highly of Bergoglio Bergoglio was a Jesuit through and through noting the clerics of that order had been historically transgressive as well as possessors of a good sense of humour While Borges never saw him transformed into Pope Francis his observations somehow fit with the respect Bergoglio earned as a global leader As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he lived modestly, often taking public transport and dedicating himself to the poor and disenfranchised He personally attended the needs of underprivileged neighbourhoods known as villas miseria (literally “misery towns”) in Argentine Spanish He was a vocal opponent to economic inequality During the 2001 Argentine economic crisis he advocated for the rights and dignity of impoverished citizens Pope Francis hails from a region deeply influenced by the progressive movements of Catholic priests and nuns, who were significantly inspired by liberation theology during the 1960s in Latin America Liberation theology developed in Latin America during the latter part of the 20th century, as a reaction to significant political and theological transformations in the area. It believed in political liberation for the oppressed, inspired by the Cuban Revolution and Second Vatican Council by Pope John XXIII While Francis did not fully subscribe to the tenets of liberation theology, much of his dedication to social justice aligns with its ideals. Pope Francis’ social awareness was deeply shaped by the “theology of the people” the theology of the people shared liberation theology’s focus on social justice and emphasises the dignity and agency of the marginalised and the impoverished During Argentina’s dictatorial regime from 1976–83 But he did not adopt the highly dangerous stance of full opposition typical among liberation theologians elsewhere in Argentina and other parts of Latin America In his early years as the Pope, he resonated with progressive Catholics across Latin America, because of his grounding in Argentinian theology and his focus on social justice. But in recent years, his popularity in some Latin American countries declined In Argentina, this dip in enthusiasm is partly attributed to his decision not to visit despite travelling to neighbouring nations More profoundly, the decline likely stems from his fixed stance against contentious issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion. To the disappointment of many Argentines and other Latin American citizens Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis received all Argentine presidents – even those who were previously critical of him, such as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner He maintained a strong connection to his Buenos Aires roots and remained engaged with Argentina’s social and political landscape often commenting on situations that provoke strong reactions from politicians He was a critic of policies instituted by the current President of Argentina, Javier Milei, particularly Milei’s libertarian model of economy and the government’s brutal response to public dissent and opposition. In September 2024, the Pope famously said: the government put its foot down: instead of paying for social justice By reflecting on how Pope Francis’ theology is rooted in the Argentina he grew up in we can better understand his actions as Pope He publicly apologised to Indigenous peoples of Latin America for the Church’s historical complicity with colonialism, and acknowledged his inaction allowed the Chilean clergy to overlook sexual abuse cases He appointed clergymen from non-European countries, enhancing representation from Asia, Africa and Latin America and increased the participation of women within the Church’s leadership structures His landmark encyclical, Laudato Si’, underscored the moral imperative to address climate change, inspiring accolades from global leaders. His critique of Israel and the conflict in Gaza underscored his consistent opposition to war and advocacy for peace Despite existing tensions and contradictions within his papacy – particularly regarding the Church’s stance on LGBTQIA+ issues and women’s rights – Pope Francis’s approach to global issues remained steadfast and aligned with his core values Francis’s leadership is a product of his upbringing and a catalyst for regional and global dialogue on social justice The profound influence of the Latin American region on him is well captured by long time friend, Uruguayan lawyer and activist, Guzman Carriquiry who described the Pope as: and profoundly priest; Jesuit and profoundly Jesuit; Latin American Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker He was history’s first Latin

There are moments in an artist's life that feel like a full circle—an arrival, a reflection, and a resounding “yes” to the present. For celebrated performer and multidisciplinary artist Valeria Llaneza, that moment is now. On May 3rd, 2025, Llaneza will unveil her newest exhibition, “Today, the Day,” at the Dacia Gallery in Manhattan’s East Village—a collection that marks not only a creative milestone but a deep, personal meditation on what it means to be an artist in the now. Coming off the heels of her critically acclaimed solo debut, Reflections of a Dream, at The Living Gallery, Llaneza’s latest exhibition shifts focus from dreamlike retrospection to grounded presence. “Presenting this new exhibition in New York, especially at such a respected venue like Dacia Gallery, is an incredible opportunity,” says Llaneza. “It feels like the perfect moment to reflect on where I am today—after all the hard work and growth that have led me to this point.” The title itself, “Today, the Day,” is a poetic affirmation—a calling in real time. It suggests readiness, self-possession, and the joy of meeting the moment with full presence. The collection will feature Llaneza’s signature integration of multiple disciplines, while also spotlighting the community that has been integral to her artistic path. “In this exhibition, I want to share testimonials from various colleagues, friends, and directors who have worked with me over the years in New York,” she explains. “It is through the eyes of others that we can truly see our work—the impact we have on those around us, and the tireless effort we put in every day to grow, not only as artists but as human beings.” Projects featured in the exhibition include Un Tango Para Tita, Sillón de los Cuerpos, A Tango Dancing Cinderella, The Selfish Giant, El Retablillo de Don Cristóbal, and Our Home on Ludlow—each one a capsule of memory, collaboration, and cross-cultural dialogue. In honoring the communal nature of art, Llaneza invites viewers to experience her body of work through multiple lenses, layered in personal narrative, shared experience, and artistic legacy. Valeria Llaneza is no stranger to the spotlight. With credits spanning from Teatro SEA, the nation’s leading bilingual theater company, to Pin Productions, and performances at the New York Theater Festival, Latin Culture and Dance Festival, MicroTheater NY, and UNI2 Theater Festival, her range is both broad and profoundly rooted. Her performances transcend medium—she crafts experiences that are at once deeply personal and universally resonant. “Today, the Day” is not simply an exhibition—it is a homecoming. For Llaneza, it’s a celebration of everything that has brought her to this exact point: the cultural migrations, the sleepless rehearsals, the collaborative sparks, and the fierce devotion to art as a transformative force. Join the artist and the creative community that has supported her on May 3rd for an afternoon of art, reflection, and reconnection. Exhibition Details:Date: Saturday, May 3, 2025Time: 12 PM – 4 PMLocation: Dacia Gallery | 621 E 11th St, New York, NY 10009 About Valeria Llaneza:Valeria Llaneza is a multidisciplinary performing artist known for her ability to merge movement, voice, and visual storytelling into deeply layered works.

We filled up on sprouted seeds and granola and walked out of our hotel. We took a right onto a dirt road, and a few blocks later we were starting the climb to Laguna de los Tres A group of retired siblings from Oregon made their way down the trail as we hiked up “Our bodies don’t work the way they used to almost maniacally seeking out the best vantage points to take in the views and listened to the other hikers as they climbed El Chalten seems to be a great place for singles to meet men and women filling in the most impressive details of their life stories in response to eager and leading questions The hike goes on into a multi-day backpacking loop, but we reached the apex of the day hike and turned around. Before we did, the clouds moved and we saw the rocky stalagmites of Fitz Roy we drove up a dirt road to the Glaciar Huemul trailhead There’s a parking lot and a place to pay $10 for access The hike is a steep scramble of tree roots and moss-covered trees the more people are tempted to turn around “Vale la pena (It’s worth it),” a woman said on her way down I felt like saying the same thing to strangers on the last stretch of the climb We crested the trail onto a mountain saddle and saw the blue glow of a glacier and the trickling waterfall from its base into a turquoise lake We found a rock on the edge of the lake and forgot our muddy feet and wet clothes as we took in the reward I changed into dry clothes and walked into the wood-paneled warming hut where people were sitting at a long table I ordered a hot chocolate and a risotto to share I offered my name a couple times for the order The couple across from us at the table ate cheese sandwiches out of a bread bag and drank coffee and the warm pottery mug felt great in my hands The next day we drove back to El Calafate and flew to meet Walter in Buenos Aires into the adventure to be had in that corner of the world Then we clicked the Viewfinder and the wheel turned with a new way to see Argentina we stayed in the Palermo Hollywood neighborhood The sun went down and life on the sidewalks picked up Wooden tables were pushed to the edge of the sidewalk and starting to fill up A glow came from the open door and warmed the people as they sat and talked We took our seats and ordered a bottle of red wine and three glasses The air had a quality that I will always think of when I think of Buenos Aires It was warm and softened by a light breeze that strolled through the streets to talk late into the night and not to worry how long we had been at that table on the sidewalk “Why have you come here?” The server poured our first glasses of wine — a Malbec from the mountain winery Terrazas de los Andes his hometown where his family had lived for generations People told me for years that it’s one of their favorite cities It seemed written in the fates that one must go to Buenos Aires at least once in a lifetime Everyone who has lived here or been here gets a far off look in their eye when they talk about it and I couldn’t find the words for his question We settled into the feeling of the night and the neighborhood The light from the streetlights was filtered through the large leaves of the London plane trees stopping next to the tall wooden doors of apartments to talk How do you really see a city in a short amount of time We were only there for two nights before heading to Uruguay We came up with a plan to walk from the Palermo neighborhood down Santa Fe Avenue toward the Recoleta neighborhood and our ultimate destination of the El Ateneo known as the most beautiful bookstore in the world Books fill the balconies and a café sits on the stage with the curtain and lighting rigs still in place We agreed that there would come a point on our pilgrimage when we might get tired of walking and then we would try our hand at riding the public bus we had to learn all manners of local knowledge That you need to buy a SUBE card at the newsstand one of the ubiquitous corner stores tightly stocked with cigarettes and bottles of Fernet Branca and Coca-Cola We climbed on the bus and a woman immediately told us to carry our bags and backpacks in front of us to discourage thieves We rode the bus to the bookstore and felt we had earned something and seen something to arrive this way I started noticing the thermoses as soon as we boarded the ferry from Buenos Aires to Montevideo That’s why I noticed so many people had them poking out of bags or tucked under their arms Many of them were the green model with the handle It is for carrying hot water to drink yerba mate So much so that I pulled back from the metal straw in shock We walked for almost an hour to get to this place and to try this drink I poured some more hot water into the gourd letting it slide down the metal straw to create a small pool on top of the mate twisting the cup toward him so the straw faced him He took his first sip and the look on his face was a mix of disappointment and repulsion excitedly teaching us how to drink mate the Uruguay way They sit on the beach watching the sunset together They drink it while walking to work and walking home from work As I looked at menus in coffee shops and restaurants and I quickly realized it’s not served anywhere I could stop at a sidewalk stand and buy a cup and straw but I wouldn’t know the first thing about how to make it or drink it We were staying in the old city at the Alma Historica Hotel and I asked the woman at the front desk Surely there’s a restaurant that serves it 18 de Julio 1249 — an hour walk from our hotel They would serve us mate and teach us how to drink it Bar Facal opened in 1882 and is the oldest downtown bar in Montevideo one of the most prominent figures in the history of the tango tango music fills the streets and people dance next to his statue We told our server that we wanted to try mate and it was our first time Mate is for sharing; you only need to order one He showed us how to fill a cup almost to the brim with ground mate leaves Mate makes the international news every four years during the World Cup when journalists see Messi and other South American players walking around with mate cups and thermoses of hot water It’s full of antioxidants and gives you a clear-minded energy I noticed Earl and Walter excitedly talking while the mate gourd sat full between them They were lost in conversation and I found myself wanting the gourd to be passed back to me Our host showed us how to tap the cup until the mate forms a hill on one side He poured a little cold water into the bottom of the cup so the leaves would swell Then he showed us how to push the silver straw into the leaves and lift it up to create a little space at the bottom Whoever owns the cup is tasked with filling the cup between sips and passing it always turning the straw to face the person about to drink as a kind of politeness especially when it comes to food and drink We had two thermoses full of hot water and a table tucked next to the window to watch the street life of Montevideo I started to notice all the thermoses and mate cups of passersby Some carried handled boxes with two compartments the leaves could be tapped to the other side and the straw reinserted to give the cup and conversation a new life There are some quiet pleasures to mate-drinking Your fingers settle into the curve at the top of the cup I asked our teacher what made a good mate cup He drinks Baldo brand because it is strong But he told us to try many brands and make up our own minds We packed our new knowledge into our rental car and drove along the coast and then a dirt road into ranchland There’s a small town in rural Uruguay that has a gravitational pull for a certain kind of person For those people who are looking for quiet and space who are looking for a place to create art and to be around other people who create art for those who are looking for a canvas or who want to become the canvas — Garzon I always wondered how Georgia O’Keeffe discovered her corner of the world in New Mexico how she knew that this was the place meant for her to paint the same mountain and curving road over and over again As I stood in the kitchen of our little casita and looked out on the garden as I sat in the town square in the early morning all alone as I walked down the dirt road by loose horses and Gauguin palm trees I am not the first person to discover Garzon It was once a busy railroad town that was revitalized when famed Argentine chef Francis Mallmann bought an empty building on the square and brought curious travelers to the outpost a large sculpture garden at its entrance and a growing ArtFest put on by the collective Campo and U.S My first conversation on a street corner was about ways of seeing a man stopped his painting to sing out a tango In 2023, Conde Nast Traveler declared Garzon the next major destination for modern art lovers Countless others have compared it to Marfa It has been compared to Tuscany because of its rolling vineyards and groves of olive trees Montevideo is the “poor man’s Barcelona.” It’s Argentina without the inflation and government problems But “it feels like” or “it reminds me of” — that’s how you miss actually seeing a place To compare it to somewhere else robs Garzon of what it is I woke up early and walked out to the main square with a cup of coffee Footsteps on the dirt roads and gravelly square everyone knows it is coming a mile away and they wait to see who it is and why they have come so far to be here The birds wake up before anyone else in Garzon The famous green parakeets of Uruguay announce the day listening and breathing in the town’s smell of eucalyptus and clay on the edges of town and in the surrounding hills adventurers and others who have sweeping life stories bought land and built houses or renovated cinder block houses and buildings They quietly fill the place during the South American summer months — November to March There’s a Mesa dinner hosted around Garzon by chef Lucia Soria with room for 30 or 40 people that draws everyone out There’s Mallmann’s restaurant and evenings at The Pulperia expats and locals wandering in for conversation it is an outpost of quiet to focus on your work A couple hours’ drive from the Brazil border it’s possible to hear Portuguese as much as Spanish The staff of Mallmann’s famous Garzon restaurant shows up at 7 a.m The donkeys wake up a little after the birds braying toward the square from the fields a block away and dogs and cats poke their heads into studios and open gates We stayed on the square on property recently purchased by a woman from Boston the gardens and old pharmacy and she knew it was what she didn’t even know she was looking for She waited for something to get in her way but the doors kept opening and the path kept unfolding she was knitted into the fabric of this town like all the others who have been drawn here She made us cocktails out of muddled grapes she picked from the arbors in her garden Within minutes we were deep in conversation with locals and accepting invites for coffee the next morning The Tannat grape is the most popular variety of the region and that bottle is among the top five most memorable of my life The planets were literally aligning in the sky above our table outdoors in a courtyard during a soft warm night Jupiter and Mars were visible and striking below the crescent moon Most people come to the restaurant for its long lunches and then drive back to the coast where they are staying We were lucky enough to be staying across the street and to enjoy dinner before walking back out into the dusty The value of a celebrity chef is more than a memorable meal but the way they turn the spotlight on the flavors of a little-known place opening the door for others to create a next chapter ended our tasting menu of Argentina and Uruguay before heading back toward the airport and home Algeria is the easiest country for travel in Africa as long as you avoid the disputed territories on the borders of Libya and Morocco Sri Lanka is placing its bet on wellness tourism digging into its thousands-year-old traditions of Ayurvedic medicine retreat centers have opened along the coast and in the mountains The thing that changed in me in the Galapagos Islands was my access to the sea and the depth it added to my view of the world During a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon It’s hard to take in at first and it’s even more difficult to remember when you leave You start by drowning in the numbers — rocks that formed 1.5 billion years ago Water that slowly sliced its way through the rock one inch a year for billions of years in order to create this spectacle came to participate in traditional nomad sports like horseback archery That was just the beginning of my travels in Central Asia Sign up to receive

I miss him being here, eating chip ás [cheesy buns] Bergoglio was born in 1936 in the working-class barrio of Floresta to a family of Italian migrants: his grandparents had emigrated on the steamer Giulio Cesare in 1929 for new opportunities and also to escape the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini he said he felt compelled to enter the Basilica of St Joseph in Buenos Aires saying it was as though “someone grabbed me from inside” Bergoglio initially found work as a bouncer and janitor and in the following decades he was placed in charge of the Jesuits of Argentina became an auxiliary bishop and then archbishop of Buenos Aires and in 2013 made history by becoming the first Latin American pope first met Bergoglio when he was still a young priest “He would come into the villas and listen to everyone,” he said “The people of the villa have always felt very marginalised Padre Toto who first met Francis when he was a young priest Photograph: Harriet Barber/The GuardianToto remembered how Bergoglio “would wash the feet of the people adding: “He wouldn’t just come for the ceremonies After another storm destroyed the roof of a sports centre but beyond that he made tangible changes,” he said his humility – surprised the world when he became pope but it did not surprise those of us who knew him,” he added said the pontiff had helped “build up the community” and the priests – led by the pope’s messages – helped me,” he said But the pope’s followers were disappointed that the 88-year-old had not returned to his homeland since becoming head of the Catholic church in 2013 – despite making dozens of other international trips perhaps because Argentina legalised abortion,” said Bogarin Argentina has suffered various economic crises and political volatility In September, the pope told reporters he had wanted to return to Argentina but that “various matters had to be resolved first” “Any visit would try and be exploited by one side or the other and he would unwittingly fuel those divisions,” he said “Despite differences that seem minor today having been able to know him in his kindness and wisdom was a true honor for me,” Milei wrote on social media on Monday I bid farewell to the Holy Father and stand with all of us who are today dealing with this sad news.” Many Argentinians say they would like to welcome Francis home They are now preparing to hold special services for the pope to honour and celebrate their fellow countryman The Argentinian government has declared seven days of national mourning Mingus in Argentina: The Buenos Aires Concerts Some of the tracks on this two-CD set have circulated on YouTube but this is the first official release with good audio fidelity Bassist and composer Charles Mingus performed this music in Buenos Aires during his 1977 tour of Latin America The live album captures a superb quintet whose members were seldom recorded together: saxophonist Ricky Ford pianist Bob Neloms and drummer Dannie Richmond Mingus and company maintained an unhurried stroll through a set of largely original and often familiar Mingus compositions starting with “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” and winding through “Fables of Faubus,” plus a pair of solo improvisations by Mingus on piano Mingus biographer Brian Priestley calls the bassist’s approach “freedom-with-organization,” an apt description for a group dynamic whose soloists were never allowed self-indulgence The blues-tinges are indebted to Mingus’ love of Duke Ellington Buy Mingus in Argentina at Amazon here.

This time I started off in an actual palace: the Palacio Duhau, whose 1934 splendor evokes Versailles It's a beloved icon in the barrio Recoleta the most opulent and traditional corner of the city But when I went to grab a bite at the hotel restaurant in a landscaped garden surrounded by waterfalls and sculptures suitable for Louis XIV I was startled to discover it was a haute-vegetarian place The dining room at the parrilla Grandes Carnicerias del Plata My corner suite overlooked the Residencia Maguire, a Gothic mansion from 1891 with majestic gables and fantasy towers, whose sole resident, I was told, was an elderly woman who lived in Miami most of the year I could gaze out at its decaying splendor and imagine ghostly soirees inside its gilded halls then stroll around to the Recoleta cemetery the enormous necropolis where Evita Perón is buried Near her famous tomb is a surreal statue of a beloved Argentine boxer But the barrio has changed with the times: A theater from 1919 where I used to go to see movies has been transformed into the El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore the crimson curtain hanging intact overhead and gilded balconies now serving as reading rooms a gorgeous florist's shop with an antique refrigerator that hides a doorway leading downstairs to a packed gin bar I decided to pay a visit to my old digs in the original bohemian district of San Telmo a stone's throw from the city's Spanish colonial heart and the president's mansion I was taken aback by the narrow street's dreamlike quiet the once sketchy district is busy with tourists converging on the 1897 cast-iron covered market which is now an enticing high-end food court the emotion-charged music was out of fashion and was sung mostly by debonair older gents and bejeweled grandes dames in mirror-lined venues like the Café Tortoni it has been embraced by younger Porteños—“people of the port,” or BA natives Professional tango shows are now ubiquitous which can be fun but are essentially staged for tourists erratically scheduled events for amateur aficionados at bars and dance halls all over the city A mural of French Argentine performer Carlos Gardel outside the bar-restaurant Sanata in Almagro which is Argentine slang for “a tall tale.” The moment I stepped inside The walls were covered with murals; many of them depicted Gardel and were painted by Ricardo Villar a local artist nicknamed Crespi after a cheap wine The beloved bon vivant Villar was a regular here until he had a heart attack at one of the tables Images of musical heroes hang from the rafters A four-piece group was performing the haunting tango on guitars and accordion while a dozen couples of all ages danced “The tango was revitalized after the economic crisis of 2001,” explained Sanata comanager Gloria Buccella referring to the most traumatic of Argentina's multiple economic collapses of the last few decades “There was lots of soul-searching afterward and young people started looking for what was real and unique in Argentine culture.” Her husband and it has grown into a venue for talented up-and-coming musicians when some of the city's finest veteran musicians arrived after their gigs to chat and jam together over red wine and empanadas and seasonal fruit at Florería Atlántico Sanata turned out to be my first stop on a beguiling tango trail through Almagro Buccella directed me around the corner to El Boliche de Roberto the teen Gardel performed before becoming an international star in the 1920s the tango lovers spilled out onto the sidewalk into the warm night air I headed around the corner to La Catedral Club which seemed abandoned until I went up a ramshackle stairwell and discovered a cavernous dance hall in full swing it's a vast space filled with mismatched furniture and walls covered with posters Although I began to lose steam around 4 a.m. A door attendant with a waist-length beard was shocked when I left: “We get busy at 5 a.m But even the aficionados at Sanata were keen to show that music in BA can mean more than tango a Japanese Argentine DJ who is an expert on the underground scene an avant-garde “high-end audiovisual” venue where pulsating images on the walls reacted to the touch a band performed hypnotic trance music to film projections and a kitchen served a delectable spicy fried cauliflower alongside natural wines “You'll be staying in Francis Ford Coppola's studio!” declared the exuberant desk clerk Colin when I arrived at Jardín Escondido a serene oasis of seven rooms set around a leafy courtyard with walls of Pompeian burnt orange The famed yanqui director bought the building while working on his 2009 film Tetro and became so enamored of Palermo Soho that he kept the place to turn into a hotel Colin pointed to an outdoor table framed by flowers: “Francis likes to write there.” The bustling kitchen of Don Julio during service I could see why Coppola fell for Palermo Soho which got its name for its resemblance to New York's SoHo Three decades ago the barrio was a dubious red-light district the ambience felt closer to the semirural village that it was back in the 19th century The cobbled streets and colonial houses are lined with boutiques My personal favorite was the minimalist bookstore-bar Falena its courtyard was a mini jungle where I sat beneath a shady fern while perusing a copy of Kafka's drawings Palermo Soho turned out to be an ideal base to explore the Argentine worship of beef. Six blocks from Jardín Escondido was the city's most fashionable parrilla (grill), Don Julio, a visit to which is a rite of passage for carnivores for its grass-fed meat from local estancias The agreeable staff handed out comped glasses of sparkling wine to those of us waiting in line outside but no more so than steaks a fifth the price at my old haunts I entered a concrete-floored chamber with a dozen plastic-covered tables and a wine list scribbled on the refrigerator door Blue-and-white soccer jerseys hung from the walls the grill was adorned with a mural of the hero Lionel Messi and the “half-portion” of lomo was a small mountain I felt as comfortable as if I were in a long-lost Argentine cousin's living room A salad is dressed tableside at Grandes Carnicerias del Plata a cocktail lounge only two blocks from Don Julio with graffiti-covered walls and neon signs “This country has had so many economic crises that bartenders have trouble getting basic imports like Tanqueray gin,” explained Charly Aguinsky some of which can only be grown at highest altitudes in the Andes.” Instead of sinking into Gardel-like romantic despair over how much the city had changed I ventured to polo games with wealthy horse breeders and eccentric small museums that recounted the life of Evita and the histories of European immigration and the Falklands War Each night I attended art receptions in unexpected settings: One venue was hidden in an apartment building; another was on an upstairs floor of the Barolo Palace an architectural marvel from 1923 whose design is based on Dante's Divine Comedy including decoration evoking hell and purgatory Florería Atlántico’s hibiscus- forward Bissap cocktail A sweeping view of El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore different eras can occupy the same physical space Look at a street one way and you see antiquity;

Diego Armus, professor of history, and Lisa Ubelaker Andrade ’06, a researcher and professor at the Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina, offer a fresh perspective on the culture of Argentina's capital city in The Buenos Aires Reader: History, Culture, Politics (Duke University Press The book is part of the World and Latin America Readers series and offers students and interested academics an insider’s view of the city’s past and present Armus and Ubelaker Andrade are both historians though they have distinctly different connections to Buenos Aires The book represents the culmination of a decadelong collaboration is a historian of Latin America and an expert in the history of diseases and health He joined the College in 2001 and teaches courses on Latin American history with a focus on urban and sociocultural issues he was the recipient of the prestigious Humboldt Research Award an honor granted by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany to only 100 scholars worldwide Armus worked in affiliation with the Freie Unviersität on research related to the global history of pandemics with a focus on Latin America Ubelaker Andrade is a historian of Latin America specializing in transnational U.S She first studied in Buenos Aires at Armus’ introduction while at Swarthmore and returned to the city as a graduate student at Yale University she moved to Buenos Aires and began working at the Universidad de San Andrés; she is also a Global Lecturer at New York University—Buenos Aires and I consider myself an immigrant to the city,” says Ubelaker Andrade “While we both approached these topics as historians we spent many hours debating and discussing topics but always with a real eagerness to learn from the other’s point of view and I think I also convinced Diego of a few things — though we never agreed on soccer Any reference to either team required real negotiation.” Armus and Ubelaker Andrade sought to tell the city’s history in a new way was to bring together new material with existing research to tell a story that satisfied the historian’s eye for nuance but felt truly accessible to a non-local audience they departed from a political chronology and instead organized The Buenos Aires Reader around several key topics that they saw generating curiosity and discussion among residents and visitors alike The result is a book that invites readers to explore the city through themes like neighborhood cultures as well as artistic and literary representations of the city and its culture and social changes intertwine in the histories of each theme and are followed by a curation of examples that bring the topics to life — song lyrics and first-person accounts — many translated into English for the first time “This format allowed us to highlight diverse stories and conflicting perspectives while offering insight into the city’s politics “Our hope is that this volume captures Buenos Aires’s heterogeneity and its energy.” “Each topic opened wonderful opportunities to discuss aspects of local culture that are usually left out of narratives of the city’s history,” Ubelaker Andrade adds Several Swarthmore students lent their skills to The Buenos Aires Reader They worked with the authors to collect documents “It was quite the Swarthmorean endeavor,” says Ubelaker Andrade “and a testament to Diego’s inclination to mentor and include his students.” The Communications Office invites all members of the Swarthmore community to share videos, photos, and story ideas for the College's website.

Choosing to study abroad in Argentina through a Maymester program she immersed herself in the country’s vibrant culture and took courses that connected theory with real-world business insights This decision gave her a profound experience that extended beyond academics shaping her personal and professional perspectives Benitez recalls the thrill of arriving in Buenos Aires “One of my life’s peak moments,” she calls it Her coursework included Marketing Methods (BUS 360) and Doing Business Globally (M 380) But it was the cultural immersion that left the deepest impact where she learned to make traditional Argentine dishes like Milanesa and sampled the iconic drink mate was a catalyst for a deeper connection with the local community “Drinking mate is a whole ritual,” Benitez explains Little things like that make you realize how deeply tradition runs.” Studying abroad was more than just cultural immersion; It was a chance to hone her Spanish and build global business acumen “I wanted to improve my Spanish and understand Latin American culture up close,” she says a major technology and software development company introduced her to unique approaches to problem-solving in Argentina Seeing these strategies firsthand was invaluable and Benitez says it has prepared her to enter multicultural work environments with a fresh perspective and adaptability. Each day in Argentina offered new learning experiences Mornings began with a scenic walk to class followed by engaging lectures until midday Benitez and her classmates would venture to local cafes where they discussed current events with their program guild “These conversations taught me more about Argentine daily life than any textbook could,” she reflects Afternoons were for catching up on coursework or exploring iconic sites like the Jardín Japonés or Caminito Through the challenges of navigating a new culture Benitez found herself overcoming imposter syndrome “I struggled with feeling like I didn’t belong,” she admits “But I realized everyone felt a bit out of place and that gave me confidence.” She coped by journaling and leaning on her classmates ultimately building resilience and self-assurance that she’ll carry with her Set clear goals and reflect on them as you go; It’s amazing to see how much you’ll grow.” Benitez’s goals for her study abroad program were ambitious: gaining fluency in Spanish and preparing for a global business career Daily conversations with locals helped her become more fluent giving her the confidence to speak and understand nuances that a classroom setting couldn’t offer “I’m still working toward complete fluency but I’ve made progress that’s priceless.” she says “Terry has been my mentor since freshman year encouraging me to set big goals and supporting me every step of the way,” she shares Their discussions sparked Benitez’s interest in finding the right program and Price’s unwavering belief in her fueled her journey Benitez is applying her experience to her studies with a new sense of purpose she approaches topics with a different perspective considering cultural and economic diversity Her study abroad experience has reinforced her desire to work in an international role where she can apply her skills to make a meaningful impact Benitez offers heartfelt advice: “Be open to new perspectives and let the experience change you Set clear goals and reflect on them as you go; it’s amazing to see how much you’ll grow.” Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_3" ).setAttribute( "value" A multitude of faithful gathered on Monday afternoon in Buenos Aires to pray for Pope Francis' health during a Mass celebrated in Plaza Constitución where Jorge Bergoglio had often presided over celebrations when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires “May our prayer be the breath of air that Pope Francis' lungs need We need you very much,” said the Archbishop of Buenos Aires held under a clear sky after a day of heavy rain The Mass was concelebrated by the Auxiliary Bishops of Buenos Aires the Cardinal and Archbishop Emeritus of Buenos Aires Bergoglio’s former spokesperson in Buenos Aires Also present were several Argentinian political and social figures including government officials such as the Security Minister Plaza Constitución is an emblematic point in Buenos Aires where hundreds of thousands of workers from the Buenos Aires province commute daily It was also the place Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose—during his years as Archbishop of the city—to celebrate Masses and denounce corruption With significant media presence from both national and international outlets young people from "Casas de Cristo" (Houses of Christ) a project aimed at rehabilitating youth from addiction Alongside them were workers finishing their shifts and a delegation from the "Unión de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular" (UTEP) Work”—the very things Pope Francis has advocated for the poor worldwide Volunteer firefighters from the San Telmo and Flores districts also attended arriving with their fire trucks and sounding their sirens at the end of the celebration while the faithful shouted where more than once Bergoglio has said that many turn a deaf ear and refuse to hear the cries of the victims of injustice and exclusion a square where many seem mute and choose not to speak about what is happening about the many faces that express deep marginalization,” said García Cuerva during the homily He paraphrased Bergoglio’s past words: “Human trafficking and drug-related organizations turn this into a factory of slaves the Archbishop of Buenos Aires referred to the “lies and slander” that Pope Francis has suffered during his pontificate and invited the congregation to ask God for forgiveness for the times “we have accused and tarnished his honour.” and prayer cards of the Virgin of Luján that continued chanting “Long live the Pope,” hoping their voices would reach Rome where the Argentine Pope is now in his twelfth day of hospitalization at the Gemelli Hospital Thank you for reading our article.
