THE POWER OF THE POSTER
November 30, -0001 - 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM
From Civil Rights & Anti-Viet Nam War to Black Lives Matter & Climate Justice
Posters, employing powerful imagery and succinct text, have been an inspirational part of social change movements around the world. Spanning over 50 years, this exhibition includes posters from women’s, LGBTQ, and anti-nuke movements as well as work surrounding resistance to U.S. aggression in Central America. The published and distributed posters of the Syracuse Cultural Workers (SCW) make up the majority of this exhibition. SCW, celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2017, is the largest publisher of progressive, feminist posters in North America. Additional posters will come from the massive archive of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) based in Los Angeles.
