When a Mexico City museum refused to let Minerva Cuevas offer free admission to her exhibit — even when she offered to pay for everyone — she made fake student IDs and passed them out to people before they entered, because the museum offered free entry to students. That's just the tip of the iceberg with this feisty and talented young artist. You can check out her other projects and order one of her fake IDs, as well as price tags that make items ring up for way less, forged Mexican lottery tickets, and an assortment of other random bits of "activist" art from her Mejor Vida Corp. at irational.org/mvc.
