Oaxaca, Mexico. Stuff on walls. November 22
The varied artwork generally fell into three categories: posters with political images, day of the dead murals, and artists’ signature pieces.

Fashion that transcends
Been there, done that.
Many pieces here are mono, or with minimal colour, and are prints that have been stuck on the wall, most carry a political message.
I can understand the philosophy behind sticking up these pre printed bits, most carry anti govt. sentiments.
It is estimated that 300+ people were massacred at a student protest in Tlatelolco plaza on Oct. 2, 1968, reports have revealed at least 360 government snipers were stationed on rooftops around the square.
They opened fire and began shooting peaceful protesters and students.
With corruption rife in local politics, and the police, I think I would produce this art at home then just slap it up
probably in the middle of the night too.
