Agua no es mercancia

Melanie Cervantes
20” x 26”
2-color screen print, New Leaf Archival Paper, Printed in Oakland, 2008
 

This is one of the pieces that I developed for a trip to Ecatepec, Mexico. Prior to our 15 artist cohort from the U.S. arriving in Ecatepec we talked about the issues that were most pressing in the communities which we would be visiting. The access to water and the threat of privitization of water are huge issues in Ecatepec, as they are increasingly worldwide. The poster was well received and resonated with many of the peple we met there. We wheatpasted them in publicsquares in the streets, put them up in exhibits in community centers and gave them away.
