Authors: Louis E.V
Nevaer and Elaine Sendyk
On October 27, 2006, when Mexican police opened fire on a crowd of protesters in the city of Oaxaca, killing three people, including American journalist Brad Roland Will, the world became aware of a social conflict that at its core was about the right to an education
Within hours of these shootings, graffiti calling the regions governor a murderer was sprayed throughout the city
Unlike in other cities where graffiti is recognized by many as a form of public art, in Oaxaca, graffiti became a way of achieving social justice
And because teachers in Mexico are primarily women, the graffiti is very much inspired by and made by women
Commentary and analysis from journalists and the acclaimed songstress (and Oaxaca native) Lila Downs establish the context for the photographs shot by Sendyk, which depict the messages of struggle, revolt and empowerment.
