The 20th Anniversary of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics
is cause for celebration. We have created a unique and independent
institution that is nationally and internationally recognized as
a source of artistic inspiration and a graphic resource for education
and activism. We honor and remember a myriad of popular movements
for social justice. By preserving the posters created to further
these causes, we also pay tribute to the stories of the people who
produced these works of art in their efforts to create a better
world. The existence of these posters prevents many struggles from
falling into obscurity. We give recognition to the many artists,
often anonymous, who placed their talents in the service of others.
Twenty Years of Explosive Graphics
represents the graphics that CSPG has produced or reproduced to
honor and commemorate individual artists and critical world events
over the past 20 years. All pieces were selected for their graphic
power and contemporary relevance. They depict ecological disaster,
denounce attacks on civil liberties, promote free speech, and
protest ongoing illegal wars. Every issue addressed in these works
remains timely and critical today.

Against Empire: Graphic Responses to U.S. Interventions Since World
War II
March 11 – April 18 2010
Opening reception:
Thursday, March 11, 2010
Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions
6522 Hollywood, Blvd.,
Los Angeles, CA 90028
This poster exhibition documents continuous domestic and international
opposition to U.S. interventions into the domestic affairs of sovereign
nations since the end of World War II. Political, economic and military
interventions, many of them covert, have repeatedly resulted in
unacceptable deaths and misery for millions. These posters show
hopes and dreams, and the pain of dreams destroyed. Their graphic
intensity results from expressing the rage engendered by U.S. actions
through art. The exhibition will also provide insights into why
the amount of devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti
can be linked to its long history of French colonialism and U.S.
imperialism.
