In Mexico, a region where bootleg products are the norm, a collective of graphic artists was started in order to "turn the tables" on illegal sellers (pirates) and get fans to buy official products from their favorite bands.
Inspired by the work of such artists as Ames Bros (Seattle), Tara Mcpherson (NY), Frank Kozik (San Francisco) and the Flatstock exhibits, the artists of the collective found in the hand-screen printed poster and collecting, the perfect weapons in thier battle against pirates.
Fifteen years of promoting the gig poster culture. Fifteen years of making collaborations between graphic artists and musicians.
Fifteen years of Mercadorama
