3pm: Event opens; poster + zine distro
4pm–6pm: Panel and discussion

With the entrenchment and normalization of fascisms internationally, what role can design and imagery play in mobilizing a liberatory counterpower?

Both critical of design’s inability to recognize and confront the moment and hopeful at the sight of the many sparks emerging from the darkness, Kaltenborn, MacPhee, and Lo will discuss their long-standing practices of social movement art, community organising, and activist graphic design, pointing towards the possibilities of antifascist visual resistance now.

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting watching live on YouTube.
