On February 25, 2011, the Oakland Standard will honor the history of political posters in the Bay Area, and the Museum’s acquisition of the All Of Us Or None (AOUON) collection with an evening of printmaking and conversation.
The Oakland Standard has invited the Kala Institute, San Francisco Print Collective, Great Tortilla Conspiracy, and street artist Eddie Colla to host informal drop-in workshops. There will be stencil, linocut, digital, and screenprinting methods on display, and an ample supply of paper, T-shirts, and tortillas for printing practice. The workshops will use imagery that pays homage to the AOUON collection, especially the iconic images of the Black Power movement. We've commissioned local artist-activist Jesus Barraza to create a special poster for the event.
At 9 pm, eminent poster artist and former Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas and artist and activistFavianna Rodriguez will speak with Lincoln Cushing, archivist of the AOUON collection. Amoeba Records will DJ the event, with beer and cheap eats from the Blue Oak café. We’ll project images and video of historic poster-making and poster-hanging.
The program ties into the Museum’s quarterly O Zone celebration happening the same night; see that line-up here.
They provide a variety of poster printing and large format printing options. Is ideal for those that want to extend. Also great for holidays, companies or parties.
