Getting up for the people : the visual revolution of ASAR-OAXACA : ASARO (Group of artists)

1 online resource (viii, 114, [9] pages) :

Getting Up for the People tells the story of the Assembly of Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca (ASARO) by remixing their own images and words with curatorial descriptions. Part of a long tradition of socially conscious Mexican art, ASARO gives respect to Mexican national icons; but their themes are also global, entering contemporary debates on issues of corporate greed, genetically modified organisms, violence against women, and abuses of natural resources. This book interjects into the growing body of work on street art and social justice-not just ASARO’s art, but also their collective success

“This book accompanies an exhibit titled Getting Up Pa’l Pueblo: tagging ASAR-Oaxaca prints and stencils at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico …”–Page 108
