Poster Making Workshop: Favianna Rodriguez
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at McEvoy Foundation for the Arts
(see times)
Interdisciplinary artist and social justice activist Favianna Rodriguez hosts an intimate political printmaking workshop that illuminates the form’s legacy as an expression of social activism. Organized by Enrique Chagoya and Rodriguez in tandem with his own work on view in McEvoy Foundation for the Arts' exhibition What is an edition, anyway?, the workshop references posters’ primacy in the earlier stages of political movements—such as the Mexican, Soviet, and Cuban Revolutions—before those same practices became part of propagandistic strategies in the same countries.
This workshop is free with registration. Limited to 35 participants.

As part of her practice, Rodriguez leads art interventions around the United States, collaborating with social movements to co-create visual narratives and cultural strategies that are resilient and transformative.
