Actions, Conversations, and Intersections

Event Description
Twenty Years of Explosive Graphics from the archives of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics is featured in Actions, Conversations, and Intersections: A participatory based practice exhibition with 56+ artists, collectives, and organizations curated by Edith Abeyta and Michael Lewis Miller.

The 20th Anniversary of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics is cause for celebration. We have created a unique and independent institution that is nationally and internationally recognized as a source of artistic inspiration and a graphic resource for education and activism. We honor and remember a myriad of popular movements for social justice. By preserving the posters created to further these causes, we also pay tribute to the stories of the people who produced these works of art in their efforts to create a better world. The existence of these posters prevents many struggles from falling into obscurity. We give recognition to the many artists, often anonymous, who placed their talents in the service of others.

The posters in this display represent the graphics that CSPG has produced or reproduced to honor and commemorate individual artists and critical world events over the past 20 years. All pieces were selected for their graphic power and contemporary relevance. They depict ecological disaster, denounce attacks on civil liberties, promote free speech, and protest ongoing illegal wars. Every issue addressed in these works remains timely and critical today.
