In honor of Día de los Muertos, here is the Self Help Graphics poster from its 1999 celebration. On Saturday (Nov 5), the East Los Angeles arts organization will host its 49th annual of Día de los Muertos celebration.

In a recent HNN article titled “How US Latinos Resurrected the Day of the Dead,” historian Ricardo Romo explained, “One of the oldest and largest U.S. Day of the Dead celebrations is held in East Los Angeles, sponsored by Self Help Graphics.”

This poster is archived in UCSB Library’s Self Help Graphics and Art collections: https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt096nc9xv&brand=oac4/

Thanks for coming to an installation created by me and Biochemist Maru Garcia from the Natural History Museum.

It represents 5 elements/ agents. The agents are minerals, water, mulch & compost, seeds and the 5th is humans doing their part to help the environment . The urn in the middle is contaminated soil that we are trying to regenerate with all of our efforts . Today we planted native plants, vegetables and flowers as a community.

“NATIVE WOMBYN’S ALLIANCE”

by Nsrgnts

Venice, California native Votan Henriquez has prized his Mayan and Nahua roots since childhood. He told KCET that even before teachers convinced him he could make a living from art, he incorporated indigenous patterns into his tags. Through his company Nsrgnts he now infuses “indigenous thought and philosophy” into everything from t-shirts to skateboard decks. When Self Help Graphics on 1st St. in Los Angeles opened “The Art of Indigenous Resistance: Inspiring the Protection of Mother Earth” on Mother’s Day weekend—with support from Honor The Earth—Nsrgnts prepared the way with this large wheatpaste tribute to indigenous women, highlighting a Diné (the preferred name of the Navajo nation), Maori, Hopi, Tsawataineuk, and Kayapo. Believing that art has a unique power to evoke emotion and wake people up, the show was intended to raise awareness of issues affecting native people everywhere.  @nsrgnts  @honortheearthtour  @shg1970

I don't normally post about my business @casapapalotl as much on my personal page, but this weekend was definitely one for the books. After an extremely eventful year, being part of the @shg1970 dia de los Muertos evento was leading up to an event of this magnitude, and it was definitely a sink or swim experience, and man was it an amazing. My awesome friend @westcoastboroughs shot this image from behind the scenes of both my business partner @roxy.elrey.huitzilli and myself talking it up, sharing the product we've worked so hard to create and perfect, with positive vibes and the best intentions, especially for our community. I extremely content with everything we offer and the purpose behind the product. So therefore talking to you all about what we have to offer makes it so much easier to do. Thank you All! #selfhelpgraphics #dotd #deadmundo #casapapalotlherbs #casapapalotl #organicherbs #teabusiness #tea #organictea #smugingaprays #sage #palosanto #bnw #dead #graphics #shopbrownbusiness #shoplatinx #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlifestyle (at Self Help Graphics & Art)
