X-Giving
Posted November 24th, 2005 by eliotI’m not big on holidays in general, and the whole Thanksgiving-to-Chistmas season, with its frantic consumerism, stressful travel, and insipid jingles tends to make me a mumbling misanthropic mess. But in the spirit of recent entries on Zapatista murals, this year let’s be thankful for the long history of indigenous resistance and the artists that celebrate it:
The above posters are by Claude Moller, Chris Stain, and Roger Peet, respectively. You can get them and lots of other great art at Just Seeds. (Don’t do it tomorrow, though — it’s Buy Nothing Day). And if you’re in the mood to make something for a stranger — which is basically what street artists do all the time — you can get involved in Asbestos’s Secret Santa Swap.
