El Salvador Solidarity Poster
Posted August 4, 2009 by Melanie_Cervantes in Art & Politics
At the Justseeds retreat last weekend we discussed the importance of our website providing readers with resources/graphics/downloadable posters on current issues/struggles/etc. We will be working diligently through the next year to expand the website to include more of these kinds of resources.
To get things started I will be sharing my newest design celebrating the persistence of organizing in El Salvador through one of a few important organizations there-the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front(FMLN). Though I have many questions about whether an electoral strategy can bring about true transformational change I agree with Roberto Lovato who has noted that they "had ended more than 130 years of oligarchy and military rule over this tiny Central American nation of 7 million."

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate the encouragement. I learned how to make the PDFs downloadable on here and it's super easy. Jesus and I have been doing these one color designs on stuff happening in the amazon/peru, iran, honduras, may 1st mobilizations...and screen printing them and giving them away. We have given away like 500 posters.
We plan on putting those up on here too.
Our studio is actually the Taller Tupac Amaru. It's confusing. Tumis is the business that Favi and Jesus own with some other friends that does website design and other stuff.
