yire

Spanish to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
A text about an Argentine artist who died in the early 2000s:

Como bien decís, en esta exhibición/libro estamos pensando su obra en relación a varios ejes temáticos/generacionales que esperaban ser tratados con algo de urgencia: el VIH/Sida en relación a sus trabajos, cómo el tratamiento iconográfico de ciertos temas bíblicos puede tener lecturas más allá del relato que presentan, la noche y los espacios de nocturnidad entre el yire y las adicciones, entre la redención, el arrepentimiento y el pedido de auxilio.

It is a lumfardo term...I think it means wandering, but I wonder if in the context of this gay artist it might be cruising?? Thanks

Lunfardo (Spanish pronunciation: [luɱˈfaɾðo]; from the Italian lombardo[1] or inhabitant of Lombardy in the local dialect) is an argot originated and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the lower classes in Buenos Aires and from there spread to other cities nearby, such as the surrounding area Greater Buenos Aires, Rosario and Montevideo.
