Poster artists share stories about art and activism in this video series. The interviews accompany Decade of Dissent: Democracy in Action 1965-1975, a traveling political poster art exhibition that premiered at the West Hollywood Library, February-April 2012.
Decade of Dissent documents the importance of poster art for developing and promoting the ideas and ideals of democracy in California during this turbulent decade. This was a dynamic period for California and the country as a whole. Democracy was advanced at the ballot box, in the classroom, and in the streets, and artists were in the forefront of the struggles for social change.
