 The Workers Arts & Heritage Centre (WAHC) has partnered with the Hamilton & District Labour Council to present an online conversation, Revolutionary Graphics of the IWW with artist, activist, and scholar Dylan Miner!
This talk will explore some of the political iconography of the Industrial Workers of the World, as seen in WAHC’s recent exhibit "One Big Union: The Revolutionary Graphics of the IWW" and what we can glean from it today in the current context and the importance of having graphic artists involved in social struggle. This talk will take place on Zoom and will be facilitated by interdisciplinary artist Jo SiMalaya Alcampo. Join us on July 16, 2020 from 7-8 pm (EST) Register here: http://wahc.fyi/iwwgraphics
