For the artist collective Grupo de Arte Callejero (Group of Street Artists), there is no separation between social art and social movements. Militancy and art unite in the anonymous, collective, everyday spaces and rhythms of life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor over two decades, Grupo de Arte Callejero has participated in the wave of denunciations of genocide and disappearances during the military junta, the social rebellions of the 2001 financial crisis, neoliberal austerity plans, teachers' strikes, and Indigenous protests.

Because of this, their work blurs the boundaries between militancy and art, and develops confrontational forms and strategies that operate within determined contexts: the street, the occupation, the demonstration. From the beginning, their work has searched for a space for visual communication that would escape the traditional circuit of exhibition, taking as its central axis of production the appropriation of public spaces. A large part of their work is anonymous in character, which allows for the continued elaboration of these practices and methodologies by like-minded individuals or groups. Many of their projects have emerged as collective constructions with political movements, groups, and individuals, creating a unique dynamic of production that is in permanent transformation due to this constant exchange and putting into political practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMareada Rosa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a translation collective based in Michigan interested in bringing critical work in the areas of politics and culture from North and South America into English.
