Comments
As far as I know, there has yet to be a book published of the print work that came out of Oaxaca in 2006. I believe a Mexican book was put out or is in the works of Oaxacan street art from the uprising, but it is usually extremely difficult to get books from Latin America in the US.
Post a comment
Was a book published as a part of the show? If not, do you know of a publication that is available that contains these posters?
Much appreciated!!
