Salon Series 34: Designing Resistance

The history of protest is grounded in the continuing saga of struggle. Fiery calls for resistance have been heard, heeded, and amplified thousands of times over. And versions of this message — built upon by activists working on behalf of civil rights, the antiwar movement, gender equality, LGBTQIA+ rights, environmentalism, and more — have found their way onto the print materials used to rebut the status quo. This panel will assemble Strikethrough artists from around the globe whose visual innovation merges with their social justice mission. Each of the panelists will briefly describe their practice and the issue(s) it addressed, followed by a group discussion among the panelists and Q&A with the audience.
