Feminist Posters

In 1974, a group of students joined together to incorporate their creative skills to fight against the sexist and negative imagery of women in the media. They later created the See Red Women’s Workshop which soon would develop its own brand of revolutionary expression and fighting for women justice through design. Identity, sexuality and women’s liberation are the main themes represented on their posters and illustrations.

See Red Women’s Workshop: Feminist Posters 1974-1990 is a new book published by Four Corners Books that brings together a collection of posters into a catalogue of powerful imagery. Check out some of this stunning posters that will give chills with their mighty message.

Shepard Fairey fights Trump with iconic posters

Shepard Fairey is a well known artist specially recognized by his HOPE poster for the Obama presidential campaign eight years ago. As a form of protest to President Trump’s inauguration day, Fairey decided to open his exhibition called “American Civics” in Los Angeles, California. In it, he presented a series of posters entitled “We the people”, where he compilates his HOPE poster technique to create three images portraying different women: a Latina, a Muslim American, and an African American.

The series was shown at the women’s march against Trump’s denigrating comments towards women as an opposition to Trump’s campaign where he stated his racism, sexism and Islamophobia believes. A great way to inspire and bring people together to fight for justice peacefully.

“Art has the potential to break through predisposition because it affects people emotionally, and it catalyzes conversations that wouldn’t happen otherwise,” Fairey said.

Posters For Women’s Rights

The candidacy and election of Donald Trump has brought the issue of women’s rights to the fore, making a poster exhibition organized and curated by Elizabeth Resnick more relevant than ever. We previously featured this exhibition after it’s opening in Massachusetts. This time we share some images of the exhibition in  Namseoul University, in South Korea, where it was displayed from November 21 to December 2, 2016. The exhibition was organized by Professor Byoung Il Sun and showcases over 60 posters created by both men and women to “challenge gender inequality and stereotypes, advance reproductive and sexual rights, advocate protecting women and girls against brutality, and promote women’s empowerment, education, and participation in society”.

Check out the whole exhibition here and let us know what you think.
