The Posters of Discontent Exhibition and Reception

Wednesday, September 10, 2008 4:00pm - 7:00pm Eastern Michigan University Gallery - Student Center
Gallery Talk by Professor Andrew Maniotes, exhibition curator, at 6:00 p.m.

Exhibition runs from August 27th - October 9

Timed to coincide with the run-up to the presidential election, this invitational exhibition features posters that speak out on current political and social issues. Participating designers hail from the United States, Great Britain, Greece, Holland, Iran, Israel, Korea, and Turkey. The range of poster media include screen printing, letterpress, stencil, and offset lithography. Poster design has a history of activism. In addition to calling for social changes, the works in this show attempt to enact some. Copies of posters will be available for purchase with proceeds going to a charity of each designer’s choice. The opening reception will feature a local DJ and voter registration to encourage students to become registered voters.
