Juan Fuentes
Grains of Life

2012

About the Item

Signed, numbered and titled in pencil, from the edition of 16. Pictures of farmworkers and laborers are a common theme for Fuentes. 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.
