- Summary:
- The book narrates the trajectory of a group of artists who worked between 1965 and 1982 in the underground of political activism under the name of Grupo Mira: Arnulfo Aquino, Melecio Galván, Eduardo Garduño, Rebeca Hidalgo, Silvia Paz Paredes and Jorge Pérez Vega. The members of Grupo Mira met at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas. They worked together in the United States under the name Group 65, and later founded the Escuela Popular de Arte in Puebla, active between 1972 and 1974. Finally, between 1977 and 1982, they formed the Grupo Mira. This collective project consisted of rescuing a political art far from the stereotypes of committed art, in dialogue with the struggles and thinking of its time. The group produced art aimed at workers to the specialized public, using historical forms of public art such as muralism and political graphics, and at the same time the neo-avant-garde, conceptualism and institutional critique. The book comprises more than 500 documents and works from the personal collections of artists Arnulfo Aquino and Jorge Pérez Vega.
