On March 24, 2001, Fernando Traverso, an Argentinian hospital worker, political activist, and artist, began spray painting a series of twenty-nine life-sized bicycle stencils throughout the streets of his home town Rosario as a symbolic memorial to his twenty-nine friends who were abducted, tortured and killed during Argentina’s Dirty War.〔Hite, Katherine: “The Globality of art and memory making.” In Politics and the Art Commemoration: Memorials to Struggle in Latin America and Spain. Routledge Publishing, 90-111. 2011.〕 Today, there are 350 ''bici'' stenciled images painted on buildings throughout Rosario, memorializing each of its 350 citizens who were disappeared under Argentina’s military dictatorship and National Reorganization Process (1976–1983). ==Background== For most members of the resistance, bicycles were the primary mode of transport. As Traverso’s friends began disappearing after the 1976 coup d'etat of Isabel Martínez de Perón and the ensuing Jorge Rafael Videla Redondo ''de facto'' presidency, only their bicycles would be left behind.〔http://www.lannan.org/art/art-grants/visiting-artists-fernando-traverso-and-lourdes-portillo/〕 Seeing an abandoned bicycle was often the first sign that its owner had been disappeared. These bicycles left standing in the streets of Rosario stood as memorials to those who were taken. Traverso made these memorials more permanent by spray painting the ''bici'' image on buildings throughout the city. Now, it has spread worldwide and Traverso works with many human rights organizations as well as impacted communities to raise awareness for those who are still disappearing today.
