Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion (LUM)

This guide to the Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion in Lima opens with a question: how do you put a name back on a body buried without one. It follows EPAF, a team of Peruvian forensic anthropologists trained on the war-crimes investigations in the former Yugoslavia, as they brought careful grave excavation and DNA matching back to Peru after the internal conflict between the Shining Path and government forces left as many as fifteen thousand people missing. You'll hear how architects Sandra Barclay and Jean Pierre Crousse cut the museum itself into the Costa Verde cliffs rather than building upward, so visitors descend level by level toward the Pacific. Walk that same descent as you listen.
