Robles has used his posters to comment on social issues, with designs that support drag artists, call for gun control and decry indigenous oppression. Printmaking is a particularly powerful medium for political expression, he said, because it allows messages to be spread en masse: “Printing gives you the chance to support different struggles: immigration, women’s rights, climate change,” said Robles. “I can do the posters and put them right on the streets.
Jaguars and hummingbirds therefore appear in lots of his paintings — although nowadays, he added, he also likes to include motifs from other cultures, such as lotus flowers or depictions of Native American ceremonies. Robles has been keen to absorb Native American culture since moving to the US, including its musical and artistic traditions, and often depicts the elements of the culture.The second ongoing exhibition is called “Chismosas,” roughly meaning “women who gossip.” It was jointly put together by artists Alejandra Rubio, 26, and Sarai Montes, 23, and is based on the art they created during their apprenticeships at the cultural center.“Generally the word has negative connotations,” explained Montes.
The artists decorated the gallery with items from their own homes, including photos of themselves, cementing the link between hard-headed politics and personal, domestic space.A red handprint at the dinner table, symbolizing murdered and missing indigenous women.
