Description
Let’s be honest, almost all collective expression is suppressed.
Josh MacPhee will be joined by some of the most accomplished political graphics makers across the globe—Daniel Drennan ElAwar, Nafisa Ferdous, and Tomie Arai—to discuss the importance of political aesthetics in our society. From the struggle for community power and control by the Black Panther Party, agitation during the AIDS crisis from ACT-UP, the fight against apartheid in South Africa and Palestine, as well as ongoing organizing against nuclear power, fair housing, and international solidarity, social movement culture is a collective tradition people have been practicing for generations. How can you be an active maker of visual culture?
