Juan Fuentes’ International Women’s Day, March 10 (1974) is a silkscreen poster produced in Oakland, California, calling for a community celebration organized by the Third World Women’s Committee. The composition is structured through strong blocks of orange, red, and brown, with high-contrast black figures rendered in simplified, stencil-like forms. A large central portrait anchors the design, while circular vignettes along the right margin depict women reading, speaking, holding a child, and raising a fist—suggesting education, resistance, labor, and care. Hand-drawn typography and asymmetrical layout reinforce the immediacy of community silkscreen production.
