Mira was part of the student brigades that produced the graphic art of 1968; in addition, the group has dedicated itself to collecting and preserving this work in historical publications. Mira is part of the political wing of the movement of the groups: like other militants of the 1968 movement, during the decade of the seventies, its members actively participated in various trade union and neighborhood movements. They formed a study group with the intention of developing graphic or neographic work given that they were heliographies and other forms of printing at low cost.

The result was the production of so-called graphic communiqués, a kind of removable large-character posters that is easily installed in neighborhoods, schools and unions. An example of these interventions is Graphic Communiqué no. 1, produced in Mexico City, which won awards at the 1980 Intergrafic meeting in the German Democratic Republic and which presented data on the conditions of poverty in the city, describing it as a space for the convergence of conflicts.
