"No
Pasaran" (They Shall not Pass)
Mark Vallen 1984
Offset poster 17" x 21" inches - $5.00
Here's
what Vallen said about his artwork:
"I
created this silkscreen street poster when the people of
Nicaragua came under military attack from right-wing mercenaries
trained, armed, and funded by the Reagan administration.
The slogan They shall not Pass became a popular expression
throughout Nicaragua and illustrated the people's determination
to resist foreign domination. My
silkscreen poster proved so popular that I self published
it as an offset poster. Thousands of these posters were
distributed at antiwar demonstrations in LA, and a network
was set up to assure their distribution across the western
hemisphere and beyond."
