I had these posters printed in a silkscreen shop that specializes in "carteles chicha", a very basic silkscreen technique and tipography style invented in the 80s by Andean immigrants in Lima. At that time they were called “invasores” (“invadors”), a massive population displacement caused by poverty and political violence in the Andes that settled in the outskirt of Lima, city´s “belt of poverty”. Hand cut templates, no photo processing and cheap textile fluorescent inks that referred to colorful Andean textile colors. They were used to advertise concerts of “chicha” music.
