“As long as we are, we can use our images, text and other tools to build Campaigns of Awareness in defense of human rights and the environment. The voice of the image becomes the open passage for the viewer, only if the viewer is willing to engage in observing the image further, rather than by passing blindly through the doorway.”  – Marlena Buczek Smith

As a medium for social change, posters record our struggles for peace, social justice, environmental defense, and liberation from oppression. From the confrontational and political, to the promotional, persuasive and educational, the poster in all its forms has persisted as a vehicle for the public dissemination of ideas, information, and opinion. The stunning Giclée prints included in this exhibition spanned a range of political, humanitarian and environmental issues.
