This publication is a compilation of writings from various artists, exploring how the liberal agenda erodes beauty in the world.
While beautyāconnected to enjoyment and pleasureāhelps shape personal and cultural identity, the liberal system reduces life to the pursuit of profit, forcing people into mere survival and erasing their cultural heritage along the way.
Born out of the troubling circumstances in Argentina and the far right uprising of the years after the pandemic, this zine seeks to understand and reflect on these issues, opening up a conversation with the intention of sharing that insight with others.

Twenty different universes to paint and choose your own adventure. Illustrated by Vicky MontƩ and published by Proyecto Piranha.
For this little book, we made a risograph cover printed with 4 inks, on two different machines, in two different studiosādefying time, space, and the already untamable laws of color registration. If you happened to get a cover where the colors are kind of all over the place, donāt see it as a mistake. Riso gifts us a bit of chaos and reminds us that coloring outside the lines can also be a lot of fun.

In Argentinaās turbulent political climate, memes have become potent tools of commentary and dissent. M1seria, an anonymous Buenos Aires creator, posts around 10 memes daily to over 90,000 Instagram followers, blending dark humor with sharp political insight. His book, compiling his first six months of work, serves as both satire and social chronicle, capturing the frustrations and absurdities of everyday life.
For M1seria, memes are cultural weaponsādisrupting dominant narratives, amplifying marginalized voices, and bridging online and offline realities. His anonymity shields him from reprisal, enabling unfiltered critique and transforming him into a digital folk hero for a generation weary of traditional politics.
Independent publisher PiraƱaās decision to publish his work affirms memes as legitimate cultural expression. Itās a political act in itself, challenging the boundaries of whatās considered worthy of print and celebrating the internetās power to democratize discourse in Latin America.

Fantasy is a transformative force.
It carries the ability to blur contours as other ethereal universes come into being. There is no definition or stability within it. More than a compositional element, it merges practical teaching with a poetic characterāallowing for the creation of a line with enough freedom to be altered.
From experimentation as the only constant arise the images of this zine: drawings that invite being colored, cut, drawn on.
The unfinished as a driving force of searching, continuity, expansionādismantling the false idea that, in a universe of relentless change, something could remain complete.

Lejos de Todo is a compilation of freehand comics and drawings by Migue Cruz and Lui Mort.
Particles of ideas converging in unusual corners of the mind. An imaginary horizon concentrates, becoming the rhythmic river that flows between two mountains. A landscape we all know.
Lui Mort and Migue Cruz are there. In the intangible distance of feelings, the everyday cutouts between acidic and nostalgic moments that make us smile and lose our gaze at an invisible point.
The three of us edited this book while being really far apart. In a short time but very determinedly, sometimes the impulse overcomes the distance.

This publication brings together the work of fourteen Argentine illustrators and visual artists under 30. It aims to capture the spirit of the times, where artistsā visual language and narrative are constantly reinvented through shared learning experiences within the same artistic circles, fostered by art book fairs and independent exhibitions. It also serves as an homage to the importance of community-building practices, which have played a vital role in shaping the current project into what it is today.

Para quĆ© sirven las personas?Ā is an intimate visual archive by painter and cartoonist Panchopepe. Over the course of three years, the artist transformed a found copy of theĀ Civil and Commercial Procedure Code of the Nationārescued from the streetāinto a personal sketchbook. Within its 600 printed pages, legal language and imagery coexist, creating a subtle, humorous dialogue between text and painting. Together, these works form a wide-ranging catalogue that reflects the artistās wit, sensitivity, and restless creative energy.
Published as the inauguralāand onlyātitle of Villacrema, a brief editorial project by comic book artist Jo Murua and Belen, editor at Proyecto Piranha, the book stands as both an artwork in itself and a document of an ephemeral publishing experiment.
