What started out as a teacher's strike in Oaxaca (Mexico) in 2006 escalated into a citywide state of civil rebellion. This exhibition featured the activist graphics of OSARO : Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca [Congress of Oaxacan Revolutionary Artists]. From the exhibition media release: Ante el bloqueo oficial a la informaci�n, el ingenio del pueblo se nutre con necesidad de decir lo que se oculta, las paredes de Oaxaca son muestra de resistencia y lucha, deducci�n que no se calla con bayonetas; las paredes dicen lo que el gobierno oculta. Se expondr�n muestras de los carteles pol�ticos y se difundir� la informaci�n de los acontecimientos actuales de Oaxaca, muestra de videos, comida y m�sica. [LMC]
