Want to meet the artists behind the powerful interior murals at Espita Mezcaleria & make an impact of your own? Join us for a special evening with Yescka Guerrilla Art, Cesar Chavez, and Sandy Phillips as they take over SwatchRoom for an Art Show Fundraiser to benefit an important cause.
A selection of limited edition works on paper will be available, in a variety of sizes, with prices ranging from $80 to $500 each. Available prints include: "Autodefensa","The Last Supper a la Mexicana", "The Rebels", and "Punk Frida". Sales from these prints will be donated to the charity student committee of the Raúl Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers' College of Ayotzinapa based in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico.
On September 26, 2014, 43 male students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers' College of Ayotzinapa went missing in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. According to official reports, the students commandeered several buses and traveled to Iguala that day to hold a protest at a conference led by the mayor's wife. During the journey local police intercepted them and a confrontation ensued. Details of what happened during and after the clash remain unclear, but the official investigation concluded that once the students were in custody, they were handed over to the local Guerreros Unidos ("United Warriors") crime syndicate and presumably killed. Mexican authorities claimed Iguala's mayor, José Luis Abarca Velázquez (es) and his wife María de los Ándeles Pineda Villa, masterminded the abduction. Over the past year, Yescka has created several public pieces to bring the tragedy of these 43 students to public light.
Complimentary appetizers and beverages courtesy of Espita Mezcaleria will be available. The event is free to attend, please RSVP to kelly@espitadc.com.
