Call For Art: Feminist Posters
The L.A. based Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) has published a call for artists to submit poster art for its upcoming exhibition, Reclaiming the “F” Word: Posters on International Feminism. Reading from the CSPG press release:
“Reclaiming the ‘F’ Word is scheduled to premiere March 2008 at the Art Galleries, California State University, Northridge. The exhibit will feature posters about the ongoing struggle for women’s rights, showing us that feminism must not be treated like a dirty word. Your posters will impact and educate a large audience of artists, community activists, university and high school faculty and students. Submission deadline: December 15, 2007. Criteria for posters: 1) Works must be produced in multiples such as silkscreen, offset, stencil, litho, digital output, etc. 2) Works must have overt political content.”
Accepted submissions will be exhibited but also made part CSPG’s extensive permanent collection/archive. CSPG maintains the largest archive of post-World War II political posters in the U.S., holding more than 60,000 domestic and international posters.
