Where is Santiago Maldonado?

Syd Krochmalny, Where is Santiago Maldonado? Watercolor, 12x10 inches, 2017.

The Slogan Where is Santiago Maldonado was painted on Zulma Lobato's body, a transgender artist. Santiago Maldonado case refers to the death of an Argentine demonstrator, who took part in a road block and was missing after the Argentine gendarmerie dispersed the demonstration. Maldonado's body was found months later in a nearby river with no signs of violence. The events took place in Cushamen, located in the Argentine province of Chubut. The autopsy of the body indicated that Santiago's cause of death was "drowning by immersion in the water of the Chubut River, contributed by hypothermia" and that it was a "traumatic death" and there were no signs of violence. The autopsy also showed that the body had stayed underwater for at least 55 days. The law-enforcement action was carried out by the Argentine National Gendarmerie, a security force that operates under the direct command of the National Security Minister, Patricia Bullrich, under the control of President Mauricio Macri.
