Featuring Original Margaret Randall Photographs

Our silent auction features an outstanding collection of 19 original 11x14 inch, black and white photographs taken by Margaret Randall in Nicaragua, just as the Sandinistas swept to power in 1979.

To see all of the photographs and to read Margaret's reflection on taking these pictures, click here. We are very appreciative of Margaret's work and are pleased to present these photographs given our own long history of solidarity with our partners in struggle in the global south.

She used a Pentax K-1000, rolling the film herself from the ends of Cuban newsreel, and printed on Agfa Potriga, a warm-toned semi matte paper. They are stamped on the back with signed mats.

The photographs will be available for preview during the week preceding the auction.

Local Art

We will have a wide variety of artwork available from local New Mexico artists, from paintings to photographs, to jewelry.

Revolutionary Art

Did you miss the recent exhibition of revolutionary posters at the National Hispanic Cultural Center? Or did you see it and come away as floored as we were? Well, here is your chance to have a small slice of the revolution for your own home. SWOP has a large collection of revolutionary posters, brought back to the office down through the years, mainly from the many Latin American Solidarity efforts we have been involved with. We also have art from struggles right here in New Mexico, as well as posters from the Seattle WTO protests in 1999 and from the past five World Social Forums we have attended. In some cases, we have just one poster, and in others we have quite a few copies. Here is a partial selection of what we will present for auction on June 8. Check back often, we'll add more as soon as we can.
