TALLER TUPAC AMARU - TEN YEARS OF COLLABORATIVE ACTIVISM
The Taller began with the aim of building a studio that focused on creating political posters that served as tools for community organizations as well as fine art prints with emerging and established artists. Throughout the past ten years, the Taller has collaborated with community organizations in the Bay Area and beyond, designing and screen printing posters for their campaigns focusing on social justice issues such as globalization, immigration, LGBT justice, food justice and sustainability. The Taller has strived to keep cultural and political fine art screen prints alive, collaborating with over 30 emerging and established artists.
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 4 @ 7:30 p.m.
Exhibition Dates: May 7 - June 20, 2013
Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.

At UC Merced Kolligian Library
Location: Merced, CA
PRISON NATION-Posters on the Prison Industrial Complex fulfills the Center for the Study of Political Graphic's (CSPG) mission to demonstrate the integral connection between art and social action.
