An artists' book and exhibition conceived and organized by artist Sabra Moore, with 20 artists (including Moore) each contributing a pair of pages whose size and format was based on the Dresden Codex to an artist's book made in protest of U.S. interventions into Central America. Originally exhibited at Artists Space in New York City from 21 Jan.–18 Feb., 1984, and later exhibited at the Powerhouse Gallery (Montreal) and the Eye Level Gallery (Halifax) in 1987. Moore also created a xerox copied multiple of the artists' book, a copy of which was exhibited in the 1988 exhibition Committed to Print: Social & Political Themes in Recent American Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
