Serigrafistas Queer

Editor Amanda Carniero

“The Serigrafistas Queer collective gathered for the first time in 2007 in Buenos Aires. Its name combines the technique of silkscreen printing with the term queer, which in English refers to gender identities and sexual orientations that break with traditional norms linked to masculinity, femininity, and heterosexuality. Since then, the group has given a new meaning to the term, using the Latin adaptation cuir and the variant cuis, an allusion to the small rodent found in the Argentinian Pampa, which has become a symbol for the artists.

With practices that emerge from public spaces, the Serigrafistas Queer form a cross-cutting network of artists and activists who use silkscreen printing as a crucial tool to create urgent and sensitive messages related to political themes, ranging from social struggles to gender issues. Their work also includes performances, collaborative games, workshops held at demonstrations, and agroecology activities. Each work results from a collective creation process, thus challenging traditional notions of individual authorship

This bright and stylish introduction to their work reproduces 62 works, together with fanzines, visual records and a portable manual on screenprinting.
