Migration Now Print

As a delegate for the Culture/Strike in 2011 that visited Arizona’s border along with many fellow artist, writers and activist, Oscar was asked to contribute to the Migration Now print portfolio. Here is the accompanying text to his print.

Magallanes has spent many years painting the ubiquitous street vendor or the man selling fruit on the corner, the very same people he says have been scapegoated as “parasites sucking the economy dry. We are told this as we watch the bank bailouts. At least the street vendor is actually moving a product and puts money right back into the economy,” Magallanes said. “We need to think about the fair and equal treatment of all individuals, especially those who embody the American dream of coming to the U.S. to flee poverty and persecution, which is usually the result of failed U.S. foreign policy.”

Serie Project

Serie Logo

Oscar has been selected to participate in the XX atelier with the Serie Project as the resident artist in early May in Austin.

About Serie

The Serie Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the fine art of serigraphy – a technique that produces original, hand-pulled prints. The organization offers an Artist in Residence (AIR) program that allows participants to learn the technique and create a limited edition of prints, under the guidance of a Master Printer. Hoping to increase the presence of minorities in the art world, the Serie Project encourages multi-racial participation and two-third of all resident artists are Latino.

A large part of the Serie Project’s mission is to market the prints created by its resident artists.  Print sales promote the artists’ careers and support the program’s operational costs.  Each edition of prints is priced at minimum so that the organization may offer original artwork to the public at an affordable price.

The Serie Project was founded in 1993 by Austin artist Sam Coronado, and has hosted more than 250 residencies to date.

Artist talk with Joel “Rage” Garcia from SHG

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.
