Serigrafistas Queer

Since 2007, Serigrafistas Queer has used silkscreen printing as a platform to produce political and artistic interventions that challenge the dominant order of genders and sexualities. It all began with printing on all kinds of textiles, paper, cardboard, banners and flags at the rallies prior to the LGBT Pride March, but their work expanded to other mobilizations and street interventions. Their printing matrices (“yablones”) and the slogans they print in public spaces arise from open creative encounters in which ideas are shared along with the basic technical knowledge of silkscreen printing.

Far from cultivating a stable identity, Serigrafistas Queer is constructed as a “non-group” whose members, instead of using their own names, call themselves “cuises.” Everything they do has been kept, since 2013, in an archive (Serigrafistas Kuir Archive) and a “yabloteca”, where the materials are available for use and consultation. In its trajectory of more than a decade—and with a political horizon in permanent expansion—Serigrafistas Queer has expanded both its spheres of action and its solidarity alliances with territorial, community, artistic, feminist and sex-dissident groups and organizations.
