Decade of Dissent: February 4 - April 28, 2012 West Hollywood Library Opening Reception 1965-1975 was a watershed decade for California and the country as a whole. Democracy was advanced at the ballot box, in the classroom and in the streets. Democracy embraces free speech, yet California’s students fought for the right to free speech. Democracy ensures freedom of assembly, yet the police often attacked peaceful demonstrations. Democracy protects civil liberties and civil rights regardless of ones race, gender, class or ethnicity, yet African Americans, Asians, Latinos, women, lesbians and gays and others were often denied equality. Artists were in the forefront of the struggles for greater democracy. This exhibition will document the importance of poster art for developing and promoting the ideas and ideals of democracy in California during this turbulent decade. It will also demonstrate the power of art to convey past experiences and views of the world, and create a broader context for understanding contemporary society. Book Signing & Conversation
