I had a fantastic visit with Patty, Blanca, Sofia, Trini, and other members of CoMadres at the end of November, 2012. Didn't find a publisher, but I learned a lot about the process and left feeling hopeful. One of the cool things I got to see was that, with the help of college students and others, the madres are converting their office into a monument to their history, as well as a place where they conduct their ongoing work for human rights. Here are a few photos of the murals, paintings and photos in the office.

Gallery of photos of torture and murder victims-
a gruesome reminder of why CoMadres exists. .

| This is a small part of a large mural being painted of a typical march , with the Madres in their uniforms. See the paint cans at the bottom? It's still in progress. |
