Totalling 750 images, these illustrations and photographs compose a record of the collective visual imagination of the international political and cultural left. Frequently used graphic tropes portraying bankers, fat cats, Keynes, Marx, Obama and protesters are found alongside more surprising depictions of agony, desperation, and holistic futures. An exhibition of this project in photographs and binder archives will be on view at Art In These Times until September. Join us at an opening reception on June 30th, 2013 from 5-8pm. Brian Holmes will provide commentary at the opening. Two gatherings where further responses to the archive will be encouraged will be a poetry workshop is tentatively scheduled for July 14th and a design charrette on August 24th.
