This image was created for a community art-build with SF-based environmental justice organization PODER, screenprinting bandanas dyed with natural colors from amaranth grown at their urban farm. Thanks to Xochitl Flores and Urban Campesinx for the amaranth dye flower-bending wisdom, and thanks to the San Francisco Arts Commission for supporting this work.
The image was my reflection on the theme chosen by PODER members for that year’s Día de los Muertos celebration, “Harvesting the Wisdom of our Ancestors.” This version is printed in a split-fountain blend of black and magenta inks, on textured cream paper.
