ASAR-O Street Art Exhibit
Posted April 25th, 2007 by rancorThe opening of Resistencia Visual is this Thursday at ABC No Rio. The exhibit features street art by the collective ASAR-O from the Popular Movement in Oaxaca, Mexico.
This exhibit is made up of woodblock prints and stencils made by
ASAR-O (Oaxacan Assembly of Revolutionary Artists), a collective
involved in the popular movement APPO in Oaxaca, Mexico. ASAR-O
formed in October of 2006, respinding to the call of the APPO
(Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca) a diverse movement of
civil society in Southern Mexico. With the goal that “all sectors
will organize themselves to resist and unite in the struggle
against the tyranny of a government that represents the interests
of the wealthy…”
Come out to see an exciting glimpse of the work that has been
produced for “mega-marches” and painting on the walls of Oaxaca
City. Its an inspiring body of work that makes the demands of the
movement visually.
