"After Adelita" includes works that express ideas about myths, heroes, and revolutionaries by women artists who work in diverse media, such as video, painting, photography, and printmaking. The collection is inspired by Adelita, a folkloric proto-feminist figure in Mexican history.

This book is part of a multi-city exhibition called Organize Your Own: The Politics and Poetics of Self-Determination Movements. It strives to invite artists and poets to consider what it means to "organize your own" in the context of social and racial justice. It also includes histories of organizing that form the foundation of today's self-determination movements.
