| Summary: | In the city of Córdoba during 1983, the last year of Argentina’s dictatorship, the Association for Development of Visual Experiences (ADEV) made its public appearance during an exhibition in a cultural center. In interviews with some former ADEV members, they agreed that the proposal of Selva Gallegos (one of ADEV members) combined paintings and poetry regarding the recent Malvinas War. This article proposes an exploration of cultural history about that artistic series, some background and the context of its production and dissemination. A hypothesis holds that those paintings and poetry proposed “structures of feelings” and “severe turbulence” to put a strain on the official, heroic and authoritarian memory built by dictatorial authorities around that postwar conflict. Some of the studied variables were a series of Gallego´s early works, individual and group factors that influenced a critical exposition during the dictatorship, artwork traits that reframed artistically the Malvinas War from a Mediterranean city, images and words that became (in)visible.
