Graciela Sacco

Graciela Sacco (1956–2017) was an Argentine artist and professor from Rosario. She earned a degree in visual arts from the National University of Rosario in 1987, with a thesis on the Argentine avant-garde of the 1960s and the landmark political-conceptual action "Tucumán Arde," and taught there until 1997. Her work addressed social conflict, political violence, migration and the relationship between memory and photography, using photography, video and interventions in public space. She represented Argentina at the biennials of São Paulo (1996), Havana (1997 and 2000), Venice (2001) and Shanghai (2004), and was named artist of the year by the Argentine Association of Art Critics in 2001.
