Members of the Occuprint collaborative are beginning a new project, which will be published for the climate mobilization happening this September in NYC. Please join us for a general brainstorming session. We’re excited to meet new collaborators and get this project off of the ground! Contributions might include: new writing and/or images, helping to research content, editorial work, graphic design, conceptualization and implementation. We are going to be putting the first issue (a 16-24 page publication) together in mid-September, and from there we’ll see how the project develops. For questions, or if you want to be involved but can’t make it to this event, email rareearthcatalog [at] gmail.com. Continue reading here for a description of the project, as it has so far been conceived.

Imaging Apartheid is a Montréal-based initiative, in collaboration with the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, aimed at bringing awareness and support to the Palestinian struggle for liberation through the production and dissemination of poster art. Stefan Christoff is one of the organizers of Imaging Apartheid and will present the project and speak about the growing role of poster art in the global Palestine solidarity movement and specifically the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign. Stefan (@spirodon) is a Montreal-based community organizer, musician and media maker. More info here.

Ganzeer highlights the social and political relevance of some of the artwork produced in Egypt over the course of the last 3 years and why it frightens Egypt’s new dictator. Ganzeer also explains why you don’t need a crisis as obvious as Egypt’s to create relevant art. More info here.
