Ask a soccer fan to name the fiercest rivalry in Argentina, and it is a near certainty the reply will be Boca Juniors versus River Plate, the battle for Buenos Aires popularly known as el superclásico.

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum announced that it will join the US Embassy in Buenos Aires to create an educational program highlighting the works of Georgia O’Keeffe. The program is part of the Embassy’s public policy initiative called ¡Exprésate! designed to teach English to Argentinean students with a concentration on American culture and history.
