«Taller Popular De Serigrafia (TPS)» is one of the most significant groups in the sphere of socio-political art that arose during the peak of the national unrest in Argentina in 2001. Using silk-screen printing as the most accessible type of art to react quickly to current political events, the group’s participants turned their works into an instrument of social struggle. While they take part in acts and demonstrations they draw images on the clothes of the ralliers, create posters and leaflets. However the works of these artists are preserved even outside of the revolutionary context. Protest is transformed into an act of creativity; it provides the possibility of acquiring new forms, of transforming the language of contemporary plastic art.
