Offset poster , Printed in Mexico City, 2008
While visiting and working in Ecatepec in October of 2008 the three collectives participating in this exchange were given the opportunity to participate in an amazing campaign. The three collectives include the Taller Tupac Amaru (Jesus and I as well Favianna), Yo What Happened to Peace and Just Seeds Collective. There has been an effort to openly declare art and culture as human rights in Ecatepec.
You can see our poster design here. We decided to include photos of the people we met in Ecatepec in the poster in order to give people in Ecatepec a mirror to see themselves. We also used the slogan 'la cultura cura' that is widely popular in Xican@ country to emphasize how culture healths and contributes toward wellness. The posters will be reproduced in editions of 1000 and will be wheat pasted through out Ecatpec by the Komal Collective (great new allies) a national collective of street artists who engage in political art interventions regularly.
