No i did not get Marcos to pose
for me - some of you will know who did, others won't... the full
original quote goes "The right to rebellion, to defy those who oppress
us with different alibis (always the gods of Power and Money with
different masks), is universal" (April 2003, quoted in The Quotable
Rebel)... the burning police car is from an old flier made after
the
White Night riots in San Francisco...
The combination of these elements, and the meaning of the quote itself,
is to drive home the point that rebellion and resistance and even
revolution can break out anywhere there is oppression, anywhere that
people have reason to rebel - it's not necessary to look in a history
book, or a map of the world, to find out where the action is. We need
to fight everywhere, even in those places and at those times that we
are a tiny minority. (An earlier draft of this shirt had the person in
balaclava wearing a button saying "hic rhodus! hic salta!" - an
esoteric Marx/Hegel quote which however you translate it is meant to
mean just that: now is the time to act, here is the place!)
i am very happy with how this shirt turned out, not least because it
required a fair amount of photo editing to get it all looking just
right. Plus, it gives a nice empowering image of what folks can do...
