Twenty three commandantes and one sub-commandante left the autonomous mountains of South East Mexico to travel to the Federal District of Mexico City with three demands: 1. To seek approval of the Indigenous Bill of Rights. 2. To seek the withdrawal of seven military bases from indigenous land and 3. To seek the release of all remaining EZLN prisoners. On the eleventh of March they walked onto a platform in the Zocalo (Mexico City?s picturesque town square) to see one million Mexicans cheer them and offer support and solidarity. Having secured the support of the National Indigenous Council, the Zapatistas took the city with delegates from forty four of Mexico?s fifty seven indigenous nations. Words from the Curator 10 years ago when Mochilla headed down to document this Historic event, I was very upset that I was stuck here in LA. I even contemplated quitting my then job in television to join them. To me this was the dream of being a photographer, capturing the struggle walking in uncertain times with a camera a backpack and the adventure of what was to come the next day. When the guys got back I rushed over see the prints (yes these were the film days) hanging in the dark room. I was a fan of B+ and Coleman?s work and their perspective behind the lens before they were known as Mochilla, seeing this through their eyes was a special treat. Soon after there was a show in Silverlake where I played records and we all celebrated their latest adventure in Mexico. Flash forward 10 years later my relationship with Mochilla has grown and I have had the opportunity to work with them on many adventures for our lovely Angelinos and folks around the world. A couple of months ago while planning to curate the series of shows at Urban Sanctuary this seemed like an amazing collection of photographs to revisit, almost exactly 10 years to the date of the march & Mochilla as a company. Now with the current uprisings in the world, this seems to be right on time...nothing better then to display the Zapatistas march on Mexico! LA MARCHA! -Azul213
