BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH EDITION “The need to break on through and create interference in this world we're living in calls for action. It feels good to be here, now and for ever... Let's get out on the streets! To stencil, forever!” In response to these words by artist DOMA, this book showcases a wealth of vibrant stencil art found on the streets of Argentina. The images are intricate, simple, beautiful, colorful, informative, and humorous. It explores the history of stencil art in Argentina, from its origins in 10,000 B.C. to its role as a reaction to socio-political situations, an art form, poetic terrorism, and a history lesson. The title echoes Che Guevara's famous phrase, “Hasta La Victoria, Siempre!” Detailed stencil instructions invite readers to participate: “Stick everything in a bag, wait till it gets dark and find a wall.” The cover features a die-cut title, emphasizing its topical nature. In recent months, stencil graffiti has been rediscovered, popularized, and institutionalized as one of the most creative forms of urban intervention in Buenos Aires. While it has been co-opted by political parties, universities, advertising, and corporate design, this book aims to document an expression that is vulnerable to erasure and serves as a perceptual call to notice the surprising signals that often go unseen by pedestrians. Read this book as an invitation to be surprised—or to start stenciling.
