This poster was designed and created with fellow artist Janna Schneider while I was a member of Northland Poster Collective based in Minneapolis. It was originally produced as a 24" x 36" poster, and thus is only available at this size or larger.

The poster tells the story of peoples struggles in the United States during the twentieth century. Six or seven hundred stories are interwoven in a narrative flow from 1900 to the year 2000. Use the zoom feature to see examples of the tree's leaves.

I was born in the coffee growing mountains of western Puerto Rico and moved to the US at a time of great social upheaval. My art has grown up inseparable entwined with my activism and sense of community. Art, to me, is a collection of medicinal herbs and nutrients that can help individuals, communities and societies overcome the cultural toxins that keep them from making needed changes. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I work out of a storefront studio. I live in close relationship with the social movements, organizers and activists who inspire my work. Additional posters, notecards and buttons are available at my studio web store at www.rlmartstudio.com. You are welcome to browse both locations.
