'POWER', 6YL Issue Four Book - MELBOURNE, AUS
Three of my pieces have been selected to be part of the Issue Four of 6YL "POWER". I am SO honour to be part of this Australian made publication! I have been really impressed by the calibre of artwork and the quality and craft of this book produced entirely in Melbourne, I feel so excited to be part of this project.
Book launch/exhibition opening will happen this Friday, if you are around Melbourne please come by! Free Entry.
Issue Four of 6YL explores the idea of ‘POWER’. In a year full of political unrest, natural disasters, and all-round bad things, our 54 artists have given us their interpretations of ‘POWER’ through artwork only. Their mind-blowing works have been curated into a limited edition publication. Join us as we celebrate our fourth issue with a group exhibition that showcases a selection of works from the publication.
We keep it simple; no top tips and no advertisements – just art.
We believe art can speak for itself. So we let it.

This event is supported by Mexsa and the Sydney Fringe Festival 2015.https://www.sydneyfringe.com/whats_on/event/a6527a4d-8f0f-4bf0-822d-89efe22a6d8f/
Mexican Solidarity in Australia (Mexsa) is an association established to discuss issues present in the modern Mexican society, express solidarity and take action to support the people of Mexico in their struggle for human and collective rights, for justice, for freedom of speech and to put an end to corruption and impunity.
The group is committed to supporting the parents of the missing students as well as the students who had survived the attack by the police in September 2014, in their fight for justice. The Ayotzinapa incident is the latest in a long line of acts of violence for which the State is responsible. Since the Mexican government declared the “war on drugs” in 2006, 30,000 enforced disappearances have been reported altogether with 25,000 cases of displaced people and the death toll has exceeded 150,000.
Mexsa acknowledges that this is a critical moment for Mexico and at present the country needs international support more than ever before. Therefore, Mexicans living in Australia take a stand to fight for justice in Mexico and show solidarity with the families of the victims. Mexsa organises events in order to raise awareness and understanding of the dramatic situation of Mexico among Australians.
