Posters for the People
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Posted by Sasha Archibald under News and Notes
We've finally finished documentation of our creative convening last November. The convening invited scholars, activists, cultural workers, and others to brainstorm about the potential of our political poster collection. This document records the presentations, and captures the conversation that followed. The big take-aways? Talk to the people who make posters. Put stuff online. Be generous.
The All Of Us Or None Collection contains 24,000 posters. As of August 2011, about 1,400 of these have been processed and are represented online in the Museum's collections database.
