These include performances, continental pavilions, discussion areas, food courts, and a time travel tunnel that tells the history of Buenos Aires alongside the distinct groups who settled in the city.
 
The exhibition will also host talks, conferences, audio visual projections, and workshops examining issues such as immigration, plurality, integration, discrimination, and Indigenous groups, among others
