Lapiztola
Movimiento Estudiantil
$30

Lapiztola is a Oaxaca-based collective that produces politically engaged screenprints. Their name is a play on words that combines the Spanish-word for pencil (lapiz) with the word for pistol (pistola). This image uses iconography from the 1968 student movement, surrounded by the Olympic rings, to call attention to the 40th anniversary of the state sanctioned murder of hundreds of students at Tlatelolco.
