"Pie del cerro" (funeral scene in Costa Chica), ASARO

This is a five-color print, using a reduction process with two blocks.

 

The ASARO artist who created the three Costa Chica woodcuts shown in the exhibit worked in the region from 1994 to 2006 as a painting and graphic arts instructor to children and youth in more than thirty Afro-Mexican communities.

 

The principal objectives of the social service organization he worked with there (Mexico Negro) were to employ the arts as a vehicle for “making visible the faces and voices of the Afro-Mexican people, strengthening their identity as African descendents, and empowering communities that have suffered so much from discrimination, marginalization, invisibility and poverty.”
