POST BAR/HOLLYWOOD IN CAMBODIA

Post Bar ~ Thames 1885, Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

These are photos from a bar in Palermo called Post that also houses the Hollywood in Cambodia Gallery. It is owned by a gentleman named Pablo, who a spent a pleasant afternoon with us examining the joint, which rocks over 1,600 stencils. The work is beyond belief, with multi-layered, multi-colored pieces everywhere you look and always a new find.

Pablo is like the Sticky Rick of Buenos Aires, he knows all the city's artists, and passionately promotes and supports their work. If you are ever in B.A., drop by and tell 'em TACO sent you. The drink specials kick ass too, with free pizza on Thursdays.

Pablo told me this is the great anarchist Errico Malatesta, it looks like him without a beard though...

"We're in crisis mode," says Victor Campos, the Director of Mosh for Youth. "Immigrants build our communities, and they thrive with immigrants. If we look at who's being taken by the raids, it's hard-working Latinos. They're going to Home Depots, to swap meets, to places of business, and taking our people away. Families are left broken and shattered by these raids, so it's our responsibility as individuals with platforms to do something about it."
