Come help ASAR-O & CASA celebrate…
VISUAL RESISTANCE: Art from the Popular Movement in Oaxaca
ASAR-O is a collective of artists dedicated to making accessible popular art that reflects the demands & vision of the popular struggle. Using art as a tool of resistance, the artists face serious repression. As recently as January 22, one member of the collective was arrested for drawing in public, beaten and jailed; he has since been released, but threats of repression and violence continue.
