Description: From the Border Realities--Part Two Exhibition of David Avalos' work at Centro Cultural de la Raza (February 1986). This altar's central focus is a woman holding a sign announcing a "National Protest March Against the Militarization of the Border." A heart with spikes extending from it, combined with barbed wire, decorates the top. Lotería cards are arranged in the bottom third with a hand holding a campesino wrapped in barbed wire and another hand with a PEMEX (Petroleros Mexicanos) oil drum. A skull and crossbones is upside down on a disk at bottom center.
