Join us in January to view, learn about, and create art that fuels movements.
For the month of January, our gallery will showcase political posters and zines supporting a wide range of social movements, highlighting the massive impact the arts has in sustaining and inspiring social activism.
Related events include a virtual or in-person watch party of A HISTORY OF POLITICAL POSTER-MAKING with Interfere Archive on Thursday, Jan. 9 (moved to all zoom due to weather!) and HOW TO MAKE A ZINE with Flemington QTs on Sunday, Jan. 21.
