“No puedes comprar el futuro”
oil on canvas
A portrait of comrade Karina Garcia Vp candidate of the PSL Presidential campaign.
Karina is a teacher, an organizer, and a working class leader, who has spent this whole year (and much of her life) supporting struggles at the local, national and international level.
We were able to talk through some ideas for this portrait when she visited Detroit this spring for the massive People’s conference for Palestine. When we talked about a setting, she immediately selected the Diego Rivera courtyard- in reference to Detroit, working class struggle, her own heritage, and a long history of Latin American resistance to capital and empire.
At a time when the capitalism and imperialism have wrecked our planet, and seem set to cling onto power to the bitter end, we need real solutions. Instead of yet another 4 years of greater or lesser evil, we need working class leaders and revolutionary organization that is actually fighting for our communities.
