In
the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, a new street art phenomenon has taken
root.
When walking around Oaxaca City, the quality of art that can be found in
the streets is striking.
More than just beautifying these spaces, many of the
pieces provide pointed sociopolitical commentary.
They remind passers-by of
some of the worst problems Oaxaca, and Mexico more generally, are facing right
now — political repression, grinding poverty, the perils of migration, threats
to Indigenous people and environmental damage, to name a few.
They also point
to solutions and offer inspiration to take action.
