Mazatl is an activist and artist who lives in Mexico, where he takes part in several collectives seeking social/political/environmental justice. His art is inspired by the work individuals and collectives do to free themselves of the noose around their necks.

Reclaim Turtle Island (RTI) is a cross-border grassroots radical media project that works to develop resources for Indigenous sovereigntist and anti-colonial struggles on Turtle Island (‘’North America’’). An all-Indigenous collective supporting self-determination through self-representation, RTI fights resource extraction, reservation apartheid and colonial capitalism.

 

CultureStrike, in collaboration with Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, has forged partnerships between artists and frontline environmental justice organizations to create a provocative, limited-edition art print portfolio, called We are the Storm, that highlights the urgency of climate change on these communities.

 

The portfolio draws inspiration from the powerful work of grassroots groups that are championing creative and community-based solutions to combat climate change. The artworks bring voices from frontline communities that are being the most impacted by climate change and destructive environmental practices, to the forefront of the climate change discussion.

Portfolio contains 23 12″x18″ digital and screenprints from the following artists:
