pósters políticos

Con más de 50,000 pósters, el archivo del CSPG (Center for the Study of Political Graphics) es la colección más grande de gráficos en los Estados Unidos desde la Post Guerra. Los temas de los posters se refieren a diversos temas como: ecología, inmigración, antimilitarismo, feminismo, anti-racismo, movimientos obreros, etc.

El CSPG colecciona, preserva y exhibe pósters relacionados con movimientos históricos y contemporáneos que promueven el cambio social. A través de sus variados programas, el CSPG apela al poder del arte para inspirar a las personas a actuar.

There has never been a movement for social change without the arts—music, poetry, theater, posters--being central to that movement. Political posters in particular are powerful living reminders of struggles worldwide for peace and justice. Communication, exhortation, persuasion, instruction, celebration, warning: graphic art broadcasts its messages through bold images and striking designs.The archive contains more than 50,000 posters produced in a staggering array of visual styles and printing media, dating from the Russian Revolution to the present. University, museum, and public collections of this material are rare, and are seldom accessible to the public. CSPG is uniquely committed to widely exhibiting this rich visual record of social movements.
