Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print

Sep 10, 2019 - Nov 02, 2019
Exploring a chapter of the anti-colonial struggles that unfolded after World War Two, Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print considers the role played by printed materials in the practice of Tricontinentalism. A political project born of the mid-1960s, Tricontinentalism aimed to unite liberation movements across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Inquiring into the relation of print culture to political feeling, this exhibition looks at how Tricontinentalism and its solidarity discourse inspired a vibrant graphic production by self-determination movements from Havana to Hanoi during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Striking, emotionally persuasive and, above all, highly mobile, printed materials of all kinds during this period assisted in visualizing and spreading messages of affinity and shared struggle between centers of dissent. Bringing together a selection of international graphic production from the era, this exhibition seeks to show how the solidarity that Tricontinentalism proposed was performed through print.

The exhibition comprises examples drawn from international collections of graphic work. Featured artists and organizations include the Organization of Solidarity of the People of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL), Ren茅 Mederos, the Comit茅 des 3 continents, Peoples Press and Jane Norling, Emory Douglas and the Black Panther Party, Malaqu铆as Montoya, Rupert Garc铆a, the South West Africa People鈥檚 Organisation (SWAPO), Marc Rudin, Ismail Shammout, and Kameel Hawa.
