The print Stop Trump’s Racist War on Immigrants by Xavier Viramontes is a striking example of activist art that confronts xenophobia and state violence through bold imagery and direct language. At the center is a skeletal figure reminiscent of La Catrina, a powerful cultural symbol in Mexican art, here adorned with roses and a cross, symbolizing both death and resilience. The skeletal hands gripping the border underscore themes of entrapment and oppression, while the vivid red background intensifies the emotional urgency. The use of bold, green block lettering commands attention and leaves no ambiguity in its message, directly criticizing former President Donald Trump's immigration policies as racist and harmful. Viramontes combines cultural iconography with political critique to provoke thought and inspire resistance, urging viewers to recognize and challenge systemic injustice in the treatment of immigrants.
