Synopsis

Getting Up for the People tells the story of the Assembly of Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca (ASARO) by remixing their own images and words with curatorial descriptions. Part of a long tradition of socially-conscious Mexican art, ASARO gives respect to Mexican national icons; however, their themes are also global, entering contemporary debates on issues of corporate greed, genetically modified organisms, violence against women and abuses of natural resources. In 2006 ASARO formed as part of a broader social movement, and now they enjoy international recognition.

The Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca (ASARO) is a contemporary Mexican artists' collective comprised of young art students and street artists.

Public and academic interest in their work (as evidenced in exhibits and recent publications) is proof of their success in "getting up."
