This newsletter is dedicated in memoriam of our agent Marco Antonio Abarca Díaz (1965-2021), a Costa Rican renowned lawyer who was an active citizen in the struggle for human rights. At Cultural Agents, among the relevant works he carried out, we can highlight the workshop he led in January, 2021 for the colombian members of the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz – JEP and his participation in the project for the prevention of violence against women, Futebol Viral in Brazil. We invite you to read his article: A MORAL READING OF NATIONALITY LAWS about the project that he developed with Haitian Immigrants in the Bahamas. Surely his legacy will not be forgotten.
