SNEAK PEEK: Tomorrow’s Afternoon Art Critic
We're heading to Chiapas.
Not to a museum — to a wall, a brush, a hand.
Zapatista muralism isn't decoration.
It's declaration."530 años y no nos conquistaron"
530 years and they didn't conquer us.
Because we exist through resistance.Tomorrow: we talk revolutionary art that serves, teaches, defends.

Monuments are overwhelming, huge, hard to break, violently jammed into the earth. They reinforce, reproduce, extend power. Monuments violently silence stories people tell about themselves, they suppress every story but their own. The stories told by monuments end in morals. They serve power, they work to control. Only the powerful can call monuments into being.
Altars are human scale creations, spontaneously precipitated out of a shared desire to tell a shared story. Created both together and individually, this work coalesces socially to express something of the community. Altars are temporary, shifting, laid down upon the earth gently. They quietly amplify the stories people tell about themselves, they celebrate every story woven into them. The stories told by altars don’t end in morals. They don’t end at all, they’re liberating. Anyone can call altars into being.
