Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print
Join us for the exhibition reception of Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print in the James Gallery on Thursday, September 12th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print explores the role of printed materials in Tricontinentalism: the Cold War-era political movement that aimed to unite liberation struggles across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Bringing together a selection of international graphic production from the late 1960s and early 1970s with Tricontinental solidarity as a theme, this exhibition calls attention to the subtle relations that connect print culture to political feeling.
Featured artists and organizations include the Organization of Solidarity of the People of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL), RenĂ© Mederos, the ComitĂ© des 3 continents, Peoples Press and Jane Norling, Emory Douglas and the Black Panther Party, MalaquĂas Montoya, Rupert GarcĂa, the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO), Marc Rudin, Ismail Shammout, and Kameel Hawa.
Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print is curated by Debra Lennard, Curatorial Fellow at the James Gallery and doctoral candidate in the PhD Program in Art History at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Thanks to the PhD Program in Art History. The curatorial fellowship and exhibition is made possible by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
