    Since 1998, activist artist Josh MacPhee has commissioned and produced over 100 posters by more than 80 artists that pay tribute to revolution, racial justice, women’s rights, queer liberation, labor struggles and creative activism and organizing. Celebrate People’s History presents these essential moments—acts of resistance and great events in an often hidden history of human and civil rights struggles—as a visual tour through decades and across continents, from the perspective of some of the most interesting and socially engaged artists working today. This show celebrates the legacy of these movements and the poster series, as well as the release of a book collecting them all. Some of the artists will be present to talk about their work while sharing images and footage about the movements that have inspired them. Books and posters will available for sale at the event. Posters will be up on the walls at Studio 34 through early February.
