REVOLUTIONARY! We all know that well-designed imagery can pack the power to spark change and speak for the underrepresented. But how do great graphics inspire action? In this conversation centered on protest art, Wolfsonian curator Shoshana Resnikoff joins artists Steve Saiz and Lillian Saiz Banderas of Dale Zine to home in on messaging tactics, design techniques, and tricks of the trade that help bring impact. And don't worry: your pressing concerns about copyright and appropriation will be addressed as the Dale Zine duo outlines exactly how to respectfully draw from historical and existing source material in creating new work.
