We will select 10 poster designs from the proposal submissions and oversee production, printing, and distribution in time for Cinco de Mayo, 1996. Posters will be distributed through activist organizations, community groups, and independent bookstores and galleries, and are intended to be used for activism, education, postering, and exhibition. Final trim size is 18x24 inches. Please note that we will use two inches across the bottom of each poster for purposes of text translations and incorporation of project information identifying each poster as part of the set. The actual live area is 18x22 inches.
Artwork can bleed on all sides.
We believe it is important to continue to support the EZLN and the struggle for democracy, liberty, and justice in Mexico, and to draw inspiration from the Zapatistas for similar struggles elsewhere, particularly in the U.S., where political participation is diluted into electoral submission. This poster series will link the Zapatista uprising to other lines of resistance which actively refuse present conditions of democracy and seek to expand the possibilities for meaningful political action. If you have questions or would like more information, please call David at the number above. We look forward to hearing from you. Los posters examinaran las implicaciones y aspiraciones de la rebelion zapatista y enfatizaran la necesidad de tal resistencia de cara a la globalizacion economica, clima politico conservador, y nociones de falsa participacion democratica.
