"Mujeres Zapatista" 2012
I chose this image because it shows that the Zapatista movement is alive and well. The group first formed during the Mexican Revolution but has reformed multiple times as they continue to fight for indigenous rights. The Zapatistas are against neoliberal policies in Mexico and throughout the world. This image speaks to me because the indigenous people of this land will not give up in the fight of capitalism. The genocide of my people and our culture has weakened us, but we continue to persist and resist.
