Rigo 23: Autonomous InterGalactic Space Program 2
Anglim Gilbert Gallery, 1275 Minnesota St, San Francisco
January 14 – February 25, 2017
Autonomous InterGalactic Space Program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Rigo 23 and artisans and cultural activists from Chiapas, Mexico. Autonomous InterGalactic Space Program is organized around the theme “Another World, Another Path,” articulated by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) at the First Global Festival of Dignified Rage in 2009.
Based on the iconography and imagery of the EZLN, the work attempts to realize the possibilities of intercommunal and intergalactic dialogue through sculptures, tapestries, and painted murals that give shape and voice to the Zapatista community’s struggle for autonomy in the face of globalization.
