Grupo de Arte Callejero: Thought, Practices, and Actions
tells the profound story of social militancy and art in Argentina over the last two decades and propels it forward. For Grupo de Arte Callejero (Group of Street Artists), militancy and art blur together in the anonymous, collective, everyday spaces and rhythms of life. Thought, Practices and Actions offers an indispensable reflection on what was done and what remains to be done in the social fields of art and revolution.
Every new utopian struggle that emerges must to some extent be organized on the knowledge of its precedents. From this perspective, Grupo de Arte Callerjo situates their experience in a network of previous and subsequent practices that based more on popular knowledge than on great theories. Their work does not elaborate a dogma or a model to follow, but humbly expresses their interventions within Latin American autonomous politics as a form of concrete, tangible support so that knowledge can be generalized and politicized by a society in movement.
