Indigo Arts’ show of prints from Oaxaca is selected from the summer’s exhibition of prints and paintings, De la Tierra de los Sueños / From the Land of Dreams. Dating from 1986 to the present, the Oaxacan prints bring the story of Mexican printmaking up to the present.. While the landscape, customs, mythology and political struggles they depict are specific to Oaxaca of the last two decades, the work carries on the great Mexican print-making tradition that runs from Guadalupe Posada through Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros and Tamayo.
