Packard Jennings designed and installed over 65 of these signs to establish protest assembly points around Mexico City (CDMX) at areas of corporate conquest: gas stations, banks, fast food restaurants, chain stores, billboards, bus bench advertisements. The design is based on Mexico City’s Punta de Reunion signs which establish earthquake meeting points and were installed all around Mexico City after the devastating 8.0 earthquake in 1985.
