Description
The Graphic Workshop began in 1970 as a response to the national
student strike at Kent State University and Jackson State University,
where six students were killed while protesting the U.S. invasion of
Cambodia. Between 1970 and 1992 the artists of the Graphic Workshop
created hundreds of silkscreen posters. Many were about politics, war,
racism, public health and endangered species. Faculty member and
co-founder Rob Moore described the Graphic Workshop as a “visual
propaganda unit” supported by “blood, sweat, and friendship.”
