Newsprint, 11 x 17 inchesThis risograph-printed newsprint zine further amplifies the history of Muralism. Honoring the legacy of Los Tres Grandes, this zine features writing about the history of Mexican Muralism and its influence on the Chicanx artists in the United States. 

Los Tres Grandes was made up of Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco and are recognized as the fathers of the muralism movement that began in Mexico in the early 1900s.

To celebrate this history, the zine design was inspired by the visual language of a newspaper, as Los Tres Grandes first began their artistic journeys at political newspapers in Mexico before the birth of the Mexican Cultural Renaissance in 1921 that later led to their careers as muralists.
