The project was born with the participation in a residency at the Haroldo Conti Cultural Centre in 2015. It was called at that time Afro Visibility in Argentina and asked what had happened to the enslaved in colonial times in Argentina. The artist developed and filmed Margarita, a teaser in which different voices wonder about their identity according to their skin colour, and the origin of their parents, and Poros, a true love story between a black migrant man from Haiti and an Australian tourist who met in Argentina.
Ana Paula Penchazsadeh, political scientist and Conicet researcher, was invited to participate, producing together two audiovisual pieces Yo, Afro and Integro, integro, integró. The title of the overall project was mutating into Argentina afro.
