A3 Press: 15 Años. A collection of large scale prints by Kim Bishop and Luis Valderas.

This exhibition offers a compelling glimpse into the dynamic world of large-scale street prints, showcasing a selection of impactful works created by the collaborative efforts of Kim Bishop and Luis Valderas over the past fifteen years. Their shared vision has manifested in the form of A³ Press pop-up industrial press events, a groundbreaking initiative that has brought the spectacle of large-scale printmaking to diverse communities throughout the state of Texas. Since 2010, A³ Press has focused in forming a powerful visual chronicle of ongoing socio-political injustices as experienced and interpreted by the communities of the frontera region and the wider state of Texas. This exhibition thus offers a unique opportunity to engage with a powerful intersection of art, community, and social commentary, underscoring the enduring relevance of printmaking as both an art of the people and a medium of revolution.
