Signal

Picked this up at the Microcosm shop in Portland a few months back. The text is made up mostly of interviews with printmakers and designers who participated creatively in various social and protest movements of the past. Of particular interest for me was the future of Xicanx printmaking interview and the Mexican Student movement of ‘68 pieces. The images are bold and arresting. Woodcuts, screen prints, linocuts... all made in haste, without much money at all. Art from the ground up. The segments on graffiti art and children's spaces were also really cool to see.

It seems that there's five volumes of this journal now, so I'll need to catch up!
