The Oaxaca print movement, which has continued from 2006 to the present, began with the solidarity of artists with citizens protesting the state government. Many of them were students of Japanese artist Shinzaburo Takeda, who lives in Oaxaca. Takeda still teaches and continues to have a great influence on Oaxaca artists, but at the same time he says he continues to be taught by the people of Oaxaca. He talked about Takeda's life through his work.
