About the Item
This vibrant serigraph by Andy Ledesma, created for the 1996 Día de los Muertos celebration at Self Help Graphics, encapsulates the spirit of the Day of the Dead through its dynamic imagery and rich symbolism. Titled "Day of the Dead: Flores de Esperanza," it features a lively ensemble of skeletons engaged in various activities that celebrate life and remembrance. The bold colors and intricate details reflect the joy and reverence associated with this cultural tradition, while the artistic style pays homage to both Chicano aesthetics and Mexican folk art.
Ledesma was a prominent Chicano artist based in Los Angeles whose work included painting, muralism, and printmaking. He often incorporates elements of street art with roots in the urban landscape of Los Angeles. His murals, in particular, have become landmarks in the city, infusing public spaces with messages of empowerment and resilience. Through his art, Ledesma aims to spark conversations about cultural identity and the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities.
In addition to his artistic endeavors, Ledesma was also committed to community engagement and education. He frequently collaborated with local organizations to provide workshops and mentorship for young artists, fostering a new generation of creatives who can continue to amplify the Chicano narrative. By blending his artistic vision with a dedication to social activism, Andy Ledesma not only enriches the Los Angeles art scene but also contributes to the broader dialogue surrounding cultural representation and equity.
Self Help Graphics & Art’s (SHG) has commissioned the iconic Día de los Muertos Commemorative Serigraphs, internationally recognized as important works of the Chicano Art legacy. A local artist is commissioned annually to create a commemorative silkscreen print in honor of that respective year's Día de los Muertos celebration. The prints were initially created to market the celebration, serving as flyers and mailers. As the print studio became more formalized, the commemorative prints became an opportunity for artists to interpret their version of Dia de los Muertos, often - but not always - with an overlaid social justice message.

By Juan Fuentes

Signed, numbered and titled in pencil, from the edition of 30. Sueño Despierta (“Awake Dream”) is a visual meditation on identity, resilience, and cultural memory. Blending symbolic imagery with portraiture, the piece features a central figure whose eyes are open in a state of alert dreaming. Surrounding elements such as plants, spiritual motifs, and historical references evoke a deep connection to ancestral roots and collective struggle. Fuentes' intricate line work and layered textures create a dreamlike yet grounded atmosphere, emphasizing awakening not as an escape, but as a call to consciousness.

Medium: Screenprint
Year: 2019
Image Size: 24 x 24 inches
Edition Size: 10
Image of a native American woman in traditional garb and ceremonial dance.
As a cultural activist/artist/printmaker, Juan Fuentes has dedicated his career to being part of a global movement for social change. His works address issues relating to local communities of color, social justice, and international struggles for liberation.
The turbulent times of the 70’s set the tone for Fuentes' approach to creating social art. The Chicano, African American, Middle Eastern, Asian and Native American struggles for equality, peace and justice helped shape the themes that recur in his art.
His development and introduction to silkscreen printing by mentors such as Rupert Garcia and Malaquias Montoya guided his subsequent community and political poster involvement.
Fuentes' relief printing process follows closely the social realist tradition of Latin American artists such as Jose Guadalupe Posada...
