Third Political Print in Yo!/ Self Help's Print Series by Favianna Rodriguez
Oakland-based poster artist Favianna Rodriguez is the third artist to release a poster as part of Yo! Peace and Self Help Graphics political print series. Her print, entititled "Another World is Possible," speaks to her commitment to education and liberation. From her favianna.com artist's statement: "Now more than ever our protest culture is being co-opted by the mainstream. Counter-culture is in style! But the requirement of study, political debate, and practice is absent. We, the artists of the people, have a responsibility to expose our truths so that we don't become maintainers of this corrupt system." Favianna's vibrant print of a boy looking over a world map highlights the role of youth in counter-culture and brings education back into the revolutionary picture.
