Juan Pablo
por Ivonne
“On December 8, 2017, in the La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires, the police officer Luis Chocobar murdered Juan Pablo Kukoc, an 18-year-old boy who had come from stealing a camera from an American tourist, from behind. Since then, the State and the hegemonic media endorse Chocobar as a hero, and the repressive policy of the Macri government was renamed the Chocobar Doctrine.
Walking through La Boca I met Ivonne, Juan Pablo’s mother. We meet one afternoon and have Coca with croissants. We made a book together: She spoke to me and I wrote very quickly everything she told me. Every time she breathed I went to the bottom line. From that manuscript we made a fanzine that is already circulating. Against the story of state and media power, the voice of a woman sitting next to her daughter in the kitchen of her tin house.
Esteban Rodriguez Alzueta, Luci Cavallero, Verónica Gago, Ileana Arduino, Dana Rosenzvit, La Negra Quinto and the Lost Toys Collective participate. “
