The Museum of the Americas, founded in 1991, initiated this traditional venue called “Women in the Arts”. This time, I would like to express my personal and well deserved homage to Commissioner Raul G. Oyuela – my grandfather – who has been a Pioneer in the fight against human traffic in the years 1910 through 1914 when he was appointed by the President of Argentina to reside in Trieste (at the time the main port of the Austrian- Hungarian Empire) to fight and dismantle the networks dealing in the exploitation of women. My grandfather, 116 years ago, carried the torch defending Women Rights .
In the name of the Museum of the Americas Board of Directors, the Staff and Members, I give my thanks to all the Women in the world - participants or not - in the “WOMEN IN THE ARTS 2026” art show.
Dr. Raul M.Oyuela, AFIAP Director, Museum of the Americas June 2026.
