Self Help Graphics & Art has a long history of producing art that speaks out about many societal issues long before making it to the supreme court or prime time television. Civil Rights, farm workers rights, discrimination, discrimination due to sexual orientation and other issues in the LGBT community, women’s rights here in the U.S. and abroad, gentrification, the concentration of wealth, police brutality. These are just a few of the issues that have been addressed in the thousands of prints produced by some of the most important Chican@, Latin@ and Political artist at SHG in the past 40 years. I am honored to be part of such an important East LA institution, archive and to be exhibiting along side such great artist.
I will be participating in an artist talk along with Joel “Rage” Garcia, a fellow artist and Program Manger for Self Help about art and politics moderated by Crewest Gallery owner Man One.
