Francisco Toledo, The Mexican Artist Who Just Died At 79, Embodied The Soul Of Oaxaca

Toledo’s art met social activism at every turn. For instance, “in December 2014, from his studio in Oaxaca, Mexico, he made a series of kites adorned with portraits of the ’43,’ or the 43 college students who were missing — disappeared allegedly by criminal and state forces in the neighboring state of Guerrero that year.” – The New York Times
