SPOTLIGHT - OUR PROGRAM PARTNER SFPS
|
|
|
|
The primary focus of San Francisco Poster Syndicate (SFPS) is to print posters live at political actions. The exhibition at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center gives SFPS the opportunity to reflect on what their artists have created...[and] to present a broader view of the struggle that we are all up against in this current political climate. It is their hope that the artwork acts as both a catalyst to action and a show of solidarity to our diverse immigrant community.
