SAID DOKINS IN LONDON

On the occasion of the ‘Graphictti / Inscribed Landscape’ exhibition housed in the Hoxton Gallery in London, and which also features the work of Mazatl, Fusca, and Ácaro, Said Dokins has left his radial, typographic stamp on some of the streets of the English capital.

This exhibition which coincides with the Mexico-UK Dual Year, gathers a wide array of techniques and styles including carved wood, painting, photography, etchings, and lithographs. It’s a reflection of the changing contemporary Mexican landscape and its deep relationship with traditional forms of creating.

But let’s focus on the impressive interventions that the artist Said Dokins has left in his tracks (in Candem and Brickline), whose calligrams paraphrase the words of Rosario Ibarra; a social and political activist who has been fighting in Mexico since the seventies.
