BuddyTimePrint Club’s Potes de Manif: An Introduction to Screenprinting Protest Posters
Saturday October 24th 11am-3pm, $45
Space1026 @ 844 N. Broad Street Phila.,Pa
This introductory, hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of one-color screenprinting through the creation of protest posters. Students will learn about the history of protest posters, with a focus on the events of May 1968 in France, when students and workers participated in strikes and demonstrations and screenprinted posters became an important tool for communicating political messages.
Participants will explore the collaborative process of creating protest imagery, learn the basic steps of screenprinting, and work together to design and print their own posters. The workshop will conclude with a group print exchange.

“All good art is political! There is none that isn’t.” – Toni Morrison
All art is a reflection of our society, even work that appears purely ornamental. Art has long been at the forefront of protest and political commentary and has the power to challenge authority in ways that words cannot. Through symbols and expression, art often inspires people to action and builds communities. Governments, institutions, social media platforms continue to censor art because they know it holds power.
Works by: Sarah McEneaney, Joe Genaro, Shepard Fairey, Martha Rich, Crystal Stokowski, Ben Woodward, Chris Kline, Bill McRight, Reed BMore, Sarah McAnulty, Joe Boruchow, Sarah Kaizar, Kathryn Goshorn, YOMI, Rich Fravel, TB Ward, Tezh Modarressi, Ryan Collerd, Jessica Kourkounis, Denise Fik

We want YOU! to believe in your dreams!
Dream Here Now! is an attempt to navigate the collective subconscious through a prompt of interactive art installation and immersive experience. Taking inspiration from Acid Tests held by the Merry Pranksters, visionary salons curated by Amiri Baraka, and studies on consciousness led by Richard Alpert, Dream Here Now! will offer a conduit for our generation to have a breakthrough. With America about to celebrate its 250th birthday, the time is ripe to gather together, empower the Dreamers, and envision another way forward. This fresh invocation in the series will feature guided meditations in the form of live music and performance conducive to encourage the audience to activate their imagination. Together we will identify common dreams among our generation and how to proceed to mutually achieve them.
If you’re unable to attend in person, please still feel invited to join us in the dreamtime. All it takes is closing your eyes and counting 1, 2, 3 to find us in the night and focus your light.
Excited to connect with you all!
