Collectives

Daniel from Frente do Tres de Diciembre, Jen and Rodrigo from Bijari. Went to Bijari´s awesome studio in Villa Magdalena.Bijari is a collective that~s been working for 10 years. Most of them have architectural backgrounds. They do design work to pay their bills and fund their more political interventionist work. They´ve been doing a lot of work around the issue of gentrification and use a variety of strategies go engage the public in a dialogue about this issue. They are also very conscious of the distortions around such issues are disseminated through mass media, and do much work to use mass media and find ways to insert counter messages in the media.From conversations with Daniel from Frente, Geandre and Rodrigo from Bijari, artists/activists workilng in collectives and doing interventionist work in Sao Paolo is very alive and parallel to what is going on in Buenos Aires. Some other collectives to check out are The Revolution Will Not Be Televised and Contrafile
