"This portfolio of hand-pulled screenprints and block prints grew out of Gráfica Sin Fronteras, an encuentro (get-together) with members of Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, from all over the USA and Mexico City, and members of Escuela de Cultura Popular Martires del 68 in Mexico City, as well as other like-minded activist printmakers from other regions of Mexico."--Booklet.
"Thea Gahr ... coordinated the printing of the portfolio at M68 in Mexico City"--Booklet
"Territory is not only the physical space itself, but the result of social relations: historic, cultural, political and economic relations. These give sense and meaning to the place and context where people live. Territories are mainly a power place, therefore, always subject to dispute, both materially and symbolically by different people who live and conceptualize territory in different ways. Generally speaking, freedom is understood as the opposite of slavery. It is a state of being often conditioned by structures of power like the state or the media, in which one think, speak, and make decisions under their own volition. Freedom embraces autonomy, which is based on the recognition that there are other world views, other cultures, other ways of managing of territory, in opposition to capitalism-driven governments and corporate controls."--Title sheet
