Art and Graffiti

A lot of the anger people are feeling comes out in the art and graffiti around town. According to the people at the learning center, before the clash two years ago there was almost no graffiti anywhere. Now it is seen on almost every building, particularly in the downtown area. There are many places where you can see layers of paint, where people have tried to cover graffiti, and where it has again been graffitied, over and over. Most of the graffiti calls for some kind of action, such as Oaxaca Resiste below. Others call for the ouster of politicians that some believe are corrupt.
