<p>Tango dancers captivate an audience.<br /></p>
<p>Plaques expressing gratitude to Archbishop Oscar Romero fill a low wall outside the chapel where he was murdered. Renowned for his embrace of the poor, and an outspoken critic of the Salvadoran government and widespread human rights abuses in his country, Romero was shot and killed by right-wing death squads while conducting mass on 24 March 1980. <br /></p>

<p>Neglect takes its toll on a mausoleum in the Recoleta Cemetery. <br /></p>
<p>'In democracy and dictatorship, the state tortures you.' A tag capturing a certain Argentine nihilism.</p>
<p>A bustling market in a Guangzhou alley.</p>
