Show Information:

Featuring new work by Dan Hamaguchi, Choppy Oshiro, Mark Pearsall, Favianna Rodriguez, Yaeger Moravia Rosenberg, Jessica Tully, and Marcelo Viana with material from the AOUON Archives.

This new exhibition takes a look back to a thrust in the history of graphic arts that envisioned and generated symbols to encapsulate the ideas, beliefs, and goals of various social movements of the last century, with a focus on the past forty years. By juxtaposing a historical survey of some of the most enduring and important symbols of these movements, as well as some lesser known graphics from labor and union movements with new work created by local artists and designers, our hope is to educate and inspire conversation about the role that art can play in helping to define and mobilize action and change today.

About the AOUON Archives

The AOUON Archive project began in 1977 to gather and document the poster-work of modern progressive movements in the United States. Though earlier work is included, its focus is on the domestic political poster renaissance, which began in 1965 and continues to this day. The Archive gathers posters from all streams of progressive activity - from movements of protest, liberation, and affirmative action, trade-union and community struggles, to electoral and environmental organizing, community services, and visionary manifestos. Though strongest in work from the San Francisco Bay Area, its scope is national: one-quarter of its holdings come from out-of-state. These are complemented by an archive of international work.
