Signs and Artifacts No. 5: CDMX, Mexico City (Poster)
Printed by Secret Riso Club on the occassion of the Signs and Artifacts No. 5: CDMX release, co-published by Secret Riso Club & Can Can Press.
“This publication is part of a project aming to document storefront signs for local businesses and graphic artifacts found in cities around the world. Volume #5 features signs from Mexico City. These signs are iconographic reprenstations of the neighborhood they are in and are marks of its cultural identity. They are often ghostly artifacts of design which connect us to an older city that will soon be destroyed or buried by gentrifiaction and the construction of the new. When isolated from the landscape, we can observe more closely the design and character of these signs and artifacts.
Secret Riso Club began this project in 2018 in New York City and continues documenting in collaboration with other sign enthusiasts.
Co-published with Can Can Press, an independent studio from Mexico City working at the intersection of graphic culture, publishing, and collaborative practice.”
