Focusing on the art of protest posters, Dignidad Rebelde is the brainchild of activist-artist duo Jesus Barraza and Melanie Cervantes. The pieces on which the artists collaborate are as much documentary as commentary. Basing some pieces on true events in California and using actual photographs, the pieces serve as cultural archives while vehemently voicing a position. Colors are bold and contrasting and the range of subject matter highlightsthe artists’ global perspective—they tackle the plight of the undocumented worker, police abuse, environmentalism, indigenous rights and Middle Eastern peace. Barraza, a printmaker and digital artist, and Cervantes, a self-trained artist, are committed to the use of the print screen as both fine art and tools for social change. Dignidad Rebelde also fosters artists who hope to support social justice causes.
