Buenos Aires Enshrines 'Esquina Charly García' With Plaque, Bulnes Co-Name and Palermo Mural

City backing elevates a fan campaign into a permanent, multi-site tribute.

Overview

  • A commemorative plaque marking Esquina Charly García was unveiled Sunday at Santa Fe and Coronel Díaz in a small ceremony with family, musicians and officials.
  • Buenos Aires co-named Line D’s Bulnes stop “Bulnes / Esquina Charly García,” with a full visual redesign set to roll out in the coming days.
  • A 5.50-by-4.50-meter venecitas mural based on Gabriel Rocca’s photos is being installed on the Palermo Off terrace at Arenales 3339.
  • The homage, advanced by organizer Mariano Cabrera after creating a New York “Charly García Corner” in 2023, secured unanimous approval in the city legislature.
  • Additional street interventions—piano-key crosswalks, signage and photographic wraps—are planned around the corner, with performances by Beats Modernos and guests scheduled for the rollout.
