Good Children Gallery presents an exhibition that examines the aesthetic of protest, highlighting the passion and creativity born out of dissidence. Making beautiful protest works is always an act of care. These focused graphic and intellectually striking works were made for public spaces but linger in the mind, thereby functioning longer in culture. This particular showcase is heavy on the printmaking medium, demonstrating its power to amplify an individual voice above the noise of the contemporary landscape. Printmaking’s ability to disseminate Ideas is more than half a millennium old, and changed the world as we know it; almost as if it were the original internet.

When authority does not listen to the electorate, and politics become increasingly polarized, the protest space becomes the avenue where we communicate our displeasure with oppressive policies and the abuse of power. When democracy is under threat, protest is an escape mechanism; and protest art is its non-violent show of solidarity.

This survey of protest works is but a sample of works created by artists who are driven to speak up. Artists from London, Chicago, New Orleans, Rhode Island and Mexico utilizing woodcut, linocut, serigraphy, risograph, letterpress, lithography, and inkjet digital prints.

Their concerns reflect the zeitgeist in the contemporary battleground of discourse: The Art of Protest!

Special thanks to Meg Turner and Stafford Schmool who kindly lent protest posters from their personal collections.
