Poster - Arte Para Todos
In the Fall of 2008, Josh MacPhee traveled to Ecatepec, Mexico with a big crew of U.S.-based artists organized by Favianna Rodriguez (which also included Justseeds members Melanie Cervantes and Jesus Barraza; as well as members of Yo! What Happened to Peace? and Trust Your Struggle). While there, we connected with the Komal Collective, who organized the printing and distribution of eight posters as part of the call for "Art is a Human Right," an extension of the Zapatista's La Otra Campaña, and more specifically, a campaign to force the city to fund art centers in the poorest neighborhoods. Four of the posters were created by Komal, and four by members of ther U.S.-based crew. There was only had about 24 hours to come up with and build a design, so Josh MacPhee used pieces of other posters to create this one: Arte Para Todos (Art for All).
