SEEDS OF LIBERATION is a exhibition featuring work by Dignidad Rebelde, a graphic arts collaboration between artists Melanie Cervantes & Jesus Barraza.  Emerging from the everyday struggles of Third World, Raza & Indigenous peoples, Dignidad Rebelde produces art intended to transform people’s stories into a radical visual language that is then returned to those who inspired it in the first place.  Working primarily as poster artists, Dignidad Rebelde continues working in an important artistic tradition deeply rooted in popular social movements throughout the Americas.

An artist reception will be held on Friday, October 7, 2011 from 6-8pm. For more information please contact gallery curator Greg Morazumi at gmorazumi@yahoo.com

At Museum of Contemporary Native Arts MoCNA

Location: Santa Fe, NM

Counting Coup is a form of prestige, pride and power. “Counting coup” is an expression originating from Plains Indian tactics of intimidation, and an act of bravery that accounts for survival originating from personal victories in non-violent battle exploits.
