Abstract

Over the last two decades, Argentine muralists have organised themselves into networks and collectives to develop an aesthetic-political project at the crossroads of tradition and contemporaneity. Therefore, in this article we propose to explore the recuperation, re-semantisation and adaptation to the mural surface of an iconography of the 45-50s linked to the Peronist left, which would then become a projector of current socio-political concerns. In order to carry out this work, we will rely on the analysis of six murals made between 2013 and 2021 in different urban spaces of the country.
