Dancers performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sept. 1 during a protest demanding government response to the alleged forced disappearance of Santiago Maldonado, 28. He was last seen Aug. 1 in the Patagonia region during a border police operation. Members and supporters of the Mapuche Pu Lof indigenous community, including Maldonado, were protesting the displacement of indigenous people in an area owned by Benetton, the clothing company. “We dance because we want Santiago to appear alive,” says Viviana Maldonado, who is not related to Santiago Maldonado.
