I'm looking for organizations that will give us a glimpse into the recovered factory and Piquetero movements in Buenos Aires.

So far I've found Anda:

Also Argentina Autonomista -- which sounds great but appears to only offer packages and unclear if they're still operating:

If you know of other resources or organizations, I'd appreciate the info. thanks!

I may be mistaken, but I think dr_dawggy knows about this.

If he is not on the forum today, I am sure he will respond when he pops back in.

Good luck. ~MarnieWDC

Marnie knows what she is talking about.

I'll bring this thread to dr_dawggy's attention.

most of the visits I have made to recovered factories have been arranged through the University of Buenos Aires, College of Social Sciences as part of courses for students in study abroad programs I have taught.

Eternautas could probably arrange a specialized tour for you....I have used this agency for a variety of specialized tours and they always do a great job...although since I have not used them for visits to recovered factories, I cannot say for sure...

Thanks everyone -- I contacted them and awaiting response.

Would you mind taking a look at the Anda site and telling me what you think? I read in roosters long thread that you like Klein's film, The Take -- I show it in every grad course I teach -- regardless of topic.

(Everyone visiting BA - netflix The Take!)

Or, if you speak Spanish...you could go to a recovered business and ask for a tour...Pedro at Maderera Cordoba has a great story to tell about the history of this recovered business.

The folks at this graphics business are very friendly...last time I took a student group they invited us back for a party they were hosting for employees of recovered businesses.

Or, the Department of Anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, College of Arts and Letters (letras) has a group of faculty who have been active in the movement.

Unfortunately, i don't speak spanish yet although i have a feeling my friends (who are near fluent) are going to ditch me when I send them this info....

thanks again

Ah, yes, I like The Take very much...I, too, show it in classes. I also show Crónica de una fuga, which is about the Dirty War.

And now everyone knows why I always say drdawggy is the greatest poster ever, even surpassing Crellston! LOL!!
