We need strong pro-immigrant and migrant art to confront the multitude

of images of disempowerment given to us by our daily media.

The Taller Tupac Amaru set out to meet this need by enlist-

ing the help of artists, art enthusiasts and movement support-

ers this May 2008. Jesus Barraza, Melanie Cervantes, Dylan

Miner and Artemio Rodriguez, under the leadership of fellow

artist Favianna Rodriguez, set out to produce of FIVE em-powering posters for the international immigrant rights move-

ment. This type of collaboration and support given by a vast

network of people was crucial in order to place 10,000 posters

into the hands of hundreds immigrant right activists around

the globe, and the thousands of people they help organize.

A historic gathering took place in this past May 2008 in Mexico

City, and brought together over 300 migrant leaders from the United States, Asia, Europe, Africa and

Latin America to form a global association of remitters and their families. The event helped consolidate

remitters economic and political power and gave them the space to dene an agenda for the sustainable

economic development of migrant communities. The conference was convened by TIGRA (Transna-

tional Institute for Grassroots Research and Action).

YES! Posters are crucial for todays immigrant rights movement!

We printed EACH poster in a run of 2000 via offset and freely distributed them to the organizations at-

tending the gathering. The posters will reach cities around the globe, so that we may introduce new and

inspiring concepts about what it means to be an immigrant in the 21st century.

We forged partnerships with over 20 individual donors whose generosity made this project possible. This

ambitious project was advanced by the collective power, action and love of many, many people all of

whom are part of the immigrant rights movement.

There has never been a movement for social change without the arts posters in particular being cen-

tral to that movement. Protest posters aunt their politics and court discussion. They can deepen com-

passion and commitment, ignite outrage, elicit laughter, and provoke action. The power of the poster is

that it is produced in multiples, and therefore can be easily distributed for all to see.

Posters are available for sale and distribution at a cost of $30 per set. Please email or call the contacts

listed at the top of this page.
