Description
Broad selection of
political posters created by the San Francisco Poster Syndicate, many of them printed and
distributed at demonstrations and other events. Topics include a wide range of contemporary
local, national and global issues. Among the major themes represented are immigration,
climate change, the anti-fascist/anti-racist resistance movement directed at the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, and homelessness in San Francisco.
Background
Hazelwood is a central collaborator of the San Francisco Poster Syndicate. From the
organization's website: "The San Francisco Poster Syndicate grew out of the crisis around
higher education - student debt and the abuse of adjunct faculty. We create and screen print
original images, continuing the rich history of posters as a form of political messaging. We
print the posters "live" at political actions, exhibitions, and on the street, giving away
the work for free in order to target a variety of current social and economic justice
issues. The Poster Syndicate is here to bring art and design to many different people's
movements in hopes that their message can be heard and seen more loudly."
