Note:"In February of 2013 I had the privilege to collaborate with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida. Along with a group of Cultural Workers we gathered in the offices of the CIW generate together with the community flags, graphics, stencils, banners, arm bands and paper mache statues as visual support. The Coalition was getting ready to embark on a 200 mile march from Fort Meyers to Lakeland, Florida, that would last for two weeks. In March of this same year Justseeds was invited to participate in the Southern Graphics International Conference in Milwaukee, WI. We created a collective installation that we named Uprisings: Images of Labor, a direct reference to the struggles that the State of Wisconsin has experienced in the recent years. Each graphic worker and artist in Justseeds produced a print or two as part of the install. This image is the fruit of the collaboration with the CIW. The image is of a Farmworker and in specific an immigrant farmworker in the tomato fields of Florida, and in her bucket she carries a new day for farmworkers that is being constructed through organizing" -- Artist's website.
