Resumen:
At the end of the XIX century, the myth of a white and European Argentina was created by the government together with the support of some Social Sciences´ scholars. The consequence of this was the ?invisibility? of Afro-Argentinean people in the country. Hence, Juan Pi, a famous photographer in San Rafael city, Mendoza province (Argentine), recorded with his camera several social events in that city and surrounding areas, during the first half of XX century. Among his pictures, the presence of Afro-descendent is recorded. The objective of this contribution is to show the existence of Afro-descendent people in Argentina through the Photographic Collection of Juan Pi (father and son), located at the Museo de Historia Natural de San Rafael (Mendoza Province), in a period of time witch exists little information about the subject.
