Abstract

An exhibition on Eva Perón faces numerous challenges, especially in the relationship between activism and curatorship. In this article I will concentrate on the relationship between the curatorship of the exhibition of dresses of the Evita-INIHEP Museum and the activation of this heritage in the performances of the feminist collective Comando Evita. Evita's identification with dior's bombastic outfits or tailor suits and polka dot dresses resonate in the collective imagination and survive as vestiges of her existence, as a symbol of struggle and aesthetic-political activism.
