Art & Revolt Tuesday, November 20th 7-10 p.m. Sublevarte Collectivo, a group of graphics creators, formed during the student movement of 1999-2000 at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (National Autonomous University of Mexico). Its work is the result of solidarity and accompaniment with various resistance struggles. The collective will present some of these uprisings, and the graphics used to join and support them, such as the Zapatista movement, which represents the ideological base of the collective, the struggle to defend the land in San Salva dor Atenco, and the resistance of the people of Oaxaca, among others. Sublevarte has maintained a horizontal way of working, and has built close ties with many collectives in Mexico to collaborate with them. Also, it has participated in many of the expressions of resistance throughout Mexico. * * * Sublevarte Colectivo es un grupo de productores gráficos surgido en el contexto del movimiento estudiantil de 1999-2000 en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

A poster by Sublevarte Colectivo, shown today when they presented as part of a Counter Culture/Counter Power workshop at the Boston Anarchist Bookfair. The Acteal Massacre was the murder of more than 40 indigenous men, women, and children by paramilitary forces, in a nonviolent community supportive of the Zapatista uprising. "PRI" in the boot on the right is the ruling government at the time, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, that many hold accountable for the murders. Here is an excellent source for more info on the Massacre and the government's role.
