Fuck the Border Art Show
Mothership Gallery, Friday, October 3 at 06:00 PM MDT
Samuel POLLO Sisneros on Instagram: ""F*ck The Border Art Show is a collection of Woodblock prints from artists in Oaxaca, Oaxaca. This artistic movement began in 2006, a creative outlet in the aftermath of political unrest as APPO, ‘la Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca’, responded to governments’ arrest and violence against professors. This moment changed Oaxacan politics forever, and allowed print-making, which at that time was only taught in the university, to explode onto the streets. Using bold mark-making and iconography, these prints now have a life of their own, demanding the viewer to think critically about the world around us. Now, we are honored to present a small portion of this revolutionary art form, which highlights the importance of standing up for what is right. These works are visually-rich, thematically intriguing, and serve as a spark to light the fire in each and every one of us.""
