Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our Radical Playdate on Saturday afternoon. We made a zine together! This was a fun and exciting way to learn about stenciling, sharing art supplies, printing, and producing our own publication.
Extra copies of our new zine are available by donation at the archive.

Australian Political Posters: Four Decades
Thursday March 28, 2019, 6:30 pm
Australia has a rich history of political poster collectives that emerged in the 1970s and are now experiencing a resurgence. Curator Macushla Robinson will [do her best to] contextualize the political posters on display as part of Hi Vis: Australian Political Posters within the broader frame of Australian political movements, protest work and print culture over the past 40 years. Drawing on research that she initially developed for an exhibition at The Art Gallery of NSW titled See you at the barricades, she will draw out some of the key themes and constitutive tensions that arise looking back at four decades of political posters. Read more info on our website.
This discussion is part of the exhibition Hi Vis: Australian Political Posters, 1979–2019 currently on view at Interference Archive.

Hi-Viz: Australian Political Posters 1979–2019
February 8 – April 14, 2019
Opening reception: Friday, February 8, 6-9pm
From the collection of Alison Alder
HI-VIS: AUSTRALIAN POSTERS 1979–2019 is an exhibition of screen-printed posters that provide a visual commentary of politics and life in Australia over the last four decades. Renowned for their high visibility, particularly in the 1980s with their saturated fluorescent colors, these posters describe the times and events that have engaged socially active artists throughout recent periods of major change.
Many of the topics addressed in these posters remain relevant today including Indigenous rights, gender politics, unemployment, and the environment. Contemporary Australian artists are reinvigorating the screen printed poster as a form of protest and information sharing by pasting the work onto the wall and value adding to its potency by posting on social media. These posters, with their ability to encapsulate ideas into a single image, continue to provoke debate, galvanize ideas into action, and invigorate those working toward an equitable and just society.
