Turning the Table explores the economic injustices suffered by migrant farm workers and the role poster art played in delivering messages that inspired protest and activism for equality.
In 1965 the United Farmworkers of America, co-founded in San Francisco, by labor leaders and Civil Rights activists Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, began its five-year Delano table grape strike against area grape growers, fighting for equal wages for Filipino and Mexican American laborers in California vineyards.
Inspired by their activism and in conjunction with National Farmworker Awareness Week from March 25-31, the Art Center will host a free poster-making workshop for youth in our screen-printing facility, leading up to a live screen-printing demonstration and poster give away at La Cocina Municipal Marketplace
