Past events
"The posters produced by Mission Gráfica supported local communities, publicized cultural events, opposed wars, and expressed solidarity with people across the world. They also continue to be treasured and displayed decades after the events they promoted took place because the art was as important as the message. Although dozens of artists are included, there is a recognizable look to much of the work produced at Mission Gráfica. Movement posters are rarely as subtle or as striking as these."
