JAQUE FRAGUA

Mural artist uses graffiti art to make indigenous presence known
If Jaque Fragua had only five more dollars in his pocket, he would buy spray paint and paint some walls while it lasts. “I don’t believe art is a luxury,” said Fragua, a multimedia artist who is part of the American Indian Mural Krew. “It’s a way of life; it’s something that’s necessary.”
Fragua, a Native American from the Walatowa village of the Jemez Pueblo, along with a few local and non-local artists, has completed a mural at Court Youth Center depicting Native culture and the Native presence here in Las Cruces and New Mexico.

Time to fight back…..

Recently, the walls painted by long time graffiti legends was painted over! These walls were legally paint and okay'd by the owner of the property. With no signs of negative connotation or offensive imagery, These walls were painted to beautify a plain grey wall and bring some color to many people’s lives! Without any kind of question or warning the pieces of art were vandalize by the city of Albuquerque! With this type of disrespect comes the natural reaction but to go to battle… We are at a point when we have the knowledge and skills to fight back in an “official” way. Need not be intimidated by a fancy suit, nor fancy language. Bottom line the city trespassed and vandalized a legally commissioned work of art! Help support Burque’s quest in these matters of loving service to better our community thru the arts.
