"The album was released in collaboration with human rights organization H.I.J.O.S., which groups children of dictatorship victims, many of whom were stolen as babies and grew up to find their true identities."
Each sticker contains the full name of a mother or grandmother, their birth date, the names of their detained or disappeared children, and in the case of grandmothers, also the names of their appropriated grandchildren, regardless of whether they have recovered their identity. "Fifty years after the last civic-military coup, this project was born as a collective exercise of memory, tribute and union," Cuadra wrote on social media. ✓

"No álbum, cada estatueta contém o nome completo de uma mãe ou avó, sua data de nascimento, o nome de seus filhos e filhas detidos ou desaparecidos e, no caso das avós, também o nome de seus netos e netas apropriados, independentemente de terem ou não recuperado sua identidade"
The initiative seeks to "cultivate memory through familiar, everyday and popular language, inviting people to share, exchange and complete figures as a collective act of memory construction," according to the designer. The album includes printing instructions and invites users to share their experiences on social media. ✓

The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo were founded in 1977 by mothers of left-wing militants kidnapped and killed during Argentina's military dictatorship (1976-1983). The regime was responsible for the disappearance of about 30,000 people and the appropriation of approximately 500 babies, many born in captivity. ✓
