Print Politics - Print Power!
Printmaking, a process of image-making that allows and encourages the creation dissemination of multiples from a plate/block, stone or screen, has a long, rich history connected to political movements and awareness raising.
Images speak volumes to audiences, raising questions and making important connections. Images paired with text has the power to educate individuals about issues. Printing on paper or cloth allows the images to get out quickly and inexpensively into the public realm, reaching audiences beyond the standard gallery or museum.
This exhibition represents a sampling of local artists, emerging to established, who use printmaking processes to speak to political issues and social issues in need of greater illumination. This group of artists is in no way comprehensive as Milwaukee is rich with printmakers and artists who use print processes in their social justice-oriented work.
Artists include:
Jeanette Arellano, Susan Simensky Bietila, Jovanny Hernandez Caballero, Celest Conteras, Kim Cosier, John Fleissner, Paul Kjelland and Nicolas Lampert.
