Resistencia's Bienal Internacional de Escultura, run by the Fogón de los Arrieros, is the engine that keeps adding to the city's collection of street sculptures. Every two years, in July, ten leading sculptors are invited to spend a week working in public at the Parque 2 de Febrero, finishing one piece each. Visitors can watch the artists carve and weld; the finished works are donated to the city.
Even outside biennial weeks, the legacy is everywhere: more than 700 sculptures in stone, bronze, wood and steel line the streets and plazas of central Resistencia. Pick up a map at the Fogón or at any tourist office and walk a self-guided route.
