Hasta atrás
Taller Documentación Visual
In the Back
Organized at the Academia de San Carlos, the Taller Documentación Visual [Visual Documentation Workshop, TDV] availed itself of both classical paintings and mass-circulated images to critically address subjects such as inequality, religion, and the HIV pandemic. Hasta atrás is a painting that addresses the struggle of marginalized youths in the late 1980s to seek social representation in punk culture.
The TDV frequently took up the figure of the so-called chavo banda as the protagonist of the late-twentieth-century urban revolution, depicting this trope in paintings and rendering it in neo-pop silkscreen prints.
