Greater Chaco Art Zines
The Greater Chaco Art Zines are a collaborative project between Land Arts of the American West artists and visiting artist Asha Canalos in partnership with The Greater Chaco Coalition, made in September 2018. The team produced zines to be distributed to threatened communities and regional events. These zines are currently in a censorship battle with the New Mexico Museum of Art and New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. For more information please visit https://greaterchacoartzines.org/. Below are PDFs of each zine.
“The tears that we shared and the emotions we felt while learning about these issues were only fragments of the destruction and heartache imposed onto this land from fracking. We carry these stories in our hearts, and the land wears them as scars. These issues are currently in some backyards and will soon catch up to the people who have the privilege to walk away from them. Clean water, air, and soil are not political issues, they are human rights and our responsibility to the earth.”
