This article seeks to address the links between artistic practices and social mobilization. Taking the city of Rosario (Argentina) as a case, it analyzes the transformation of the demonstrations that commemorate the coup d'état of March 24, 1976, through performance arts. To do this, it presents three moments that took place in the city. First, the constitution of human rights mobilizations in the 1980s. Second, the cycle of social conflict 1990-1995, when new subjects and artistic practices emerged. Third, the commemorations of March 24 starting in 1996, when diverse repertoires of performing arts joined the mobilizations. The hypothesis postulates that, alongside the irruption of the HIJOS collective, the artistic practices made possible a resignification of the March 24 demonstrations in artistic, festive, and parodic ways. The work methodology combines in-depth interviews, journalistic sources, and photographs.

Keywords : social movements; human rights; art; urban space.
