The “Nuevo Mundo: America Latina Street Art” book (Gestalten, 2011) hit the market a few months ago. It is edited by Maximilian Ruiz, author of “Graffiti Argentino”.
Though we haven’t spoke a word about it yet, we feel it is appropriate to at least mention this project. There are 256 jam-packed pages of work by Os Gemeos, Vitché, saner, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada, and others* who provide a pretty good view of how the streets are at the moment in Latin America.
The book is broken into chapters that show work done in Argentina, Brazil, Central America, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
“ We believe that since there are problems much larger than fighting against graffiti in Brazil, many people are taking back the streets, expressing themselves in order to escape from the chaos.” Os Gemeos.
Street art fans and people interested alike: We are very Lucky.
