El Paso and Guadalajara came together on July 26th, to print with a tortilla press in front of Arte Insurgente in Tlaquepaque, the arts/tourist district of Guadalajara.
Busy making prints with the tortilla press
Tres Gatos Press pioneered this system by designing and commissioning an extra large tortilla press to make prints.
They gave our all the prints for free
to happy onlookers in Tlaquepaque

Wheat Paste Print Exchange
Taller MAPECO in Uruapan, Michoacán, sponsored a wheat paste print exchange, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of Emiliano Zapata. Tres Gatos Press participated, and wheat pasted the prints in Tlaquepaque. When we left Guadalajara, we went to MAPECO in Uruapan.
