There is a long tradition of artists as organizers and participants in movements for social justice communicating demands and goals through visual works. Print and Resistance: Print Media and Social Movements is a survey of over a decade of thematic print portfolios produced by Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative in concert with a variety of social movements across North America. They bring together visual articulations addressing the prison industrial complex, resource extraction, migration, reproductive justice, anti-war organizing, systemic poverty, and the climate crisis. The installation of wallpaper and suspended prints create intersecting patterns honouring historical and contemporary struggles.
With members working from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative operates as a unified collaboration of similarly minded printmakers, as well as a loose collection of creative individuals with unique viewpoints and working methods. We believe in the transformative power of personal expression in concert with collective action.
