Happy International Workers Day!!!
Enjoy the weekend and remember those who fought for it. Print available at @justseeds and @repetitive_press

From @jessepurcellprinter : this beautiful print for the children of Gaza. This poster was created during the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2014, known as Operation Protective Edge, in which between 2,000 and 2,143 Gazans were killed - including 495-578 children. 350 posters large format poster were printed, 300 of which were given out at demonstrations in Toronto or pasted up as an act of solidarity with Palestine, in the streets of various cities across Canada.

Here is a smaller version that will more easily fit in peoples homes or offices.

Imaging Apartheid - A project update + street postering brigades

http://justseeds.org/project/imaging-apartheid

Imaging Apartheid is a Montreal/Toronto based initiative, that takes place as part of the @justseeds artists’ cooperative, aiming to bring awareness and support to the Palestinian struggle for liberation through the production and dissemination of poster art.

We are a small collective of artists and activists who strongly believe in the intersection of art and politics as a means of advancing social change. This project’s focus is on the pressing issue of Israeli Apartheid and today the genocidal actions taking place against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This project was launched in 2010 by artist Jesse Purcell @jessepurcellprinter and community organizer / musician Stefan Christoff. From the first months this project was supported by many artists and activists both in logistics and through benefits including @lokimon, @__xarah__, @hodaadra, Sawsan from Under the Olive Tree show on @ckutmusic, @jasonsharpmusic, @adamkinner___ and many others.

Until today the project has distributed thousands of print copies globally, including works by Amer Shomali, Jason Kuhrt, Josh MacPhee @jmacphee, Jamaa Al-Yad Artists' Collective, Eric Drooker @eric.drooker, Freda Guttman, Kevin Yuen Kit Lo @lokimon, Zola @zola_mtl and Kevin Caplicki @kevlicki.

Tonight in Montreal, Thursday, July 3 at 11pm there will be a street postering session with prints, if you would like to join please send a message.

Also if you are in Toronto (jesse(at)justseeds.org) or Montreal (stefan.christoff(at)gmail.com) and also other cities and would like prints please send an email.

We’re amplifying art that speaks to Refugee Week’s spirit— this piece by @jessepurcellprinter—an artist whose work channels resistance, memory, and radical possibility through bold design.
Together with @bigbowlofideas, this piece celebrates those who journey toward safety—and the communities that respond with care, not fear.
In a time of division and displacement, this work reminds us: dignity, solidarity, and collective care are not just ideals—they’re necessary.

On this winter night I went out to paste up a set of posters from the Imaging Apartheid poster series that I have been working on over the last years in collaboration with @jessepurcellprinter, it is distributed as a project supported by the @justseeds artists' cooperative. I pasted up an awesome new print in the series, for the first time, designed by @zola_mtl and recently printed.

Thank you to @abdelaliessaouis for your presence, friendship and documentation of this process.

Right now I have a bunch of high quality silkscreens of this series available in Montreal, I will be selling them for $20-40 sliding scale to support @radioalhara in Bethlehem. Specifically the funds will go toward a Radio AlHara supported residency @wonder.cabinet in Bethlehem that will be included in the “Sounds of Places” project. This effort takes place to build on a fundraising album and zine that I worked on with @smallscaleraph and @lafemmeriquita

Fight Poverty, not the Poor! Fill the People's Cart! This is a four-color screenprint from Justseeds artist @jessepurcellprinter, up on our site today. This slogan was a part of the portfolio project we did with the @poorpeoplescampaign, and it repeats as a super-detailed and precisely printed background in this print.

Today's intervention in #exhibitionstrike is quite self-explanatory. These agitprop posters have been contributed to me by artists whose practices are continually engaging with public space and political messaging. Anonymous Guelph street artist @lionel.streetart has actually had work in this gallery before as part of the 2023 Creative Dissent exhibition. 

I have mounted the posters on the plywood we need to use below the scissor lift when striking an exhibition. The plywood as a substrate, and the repetition of the posters references the natural habitat of this artwork. It could almost be a wheat pasted, guerilla campaign on construction hoarding in the city. 

Agitprop design was never really something I was very successful at, despite the many years I tried making graphics for the various political organizions I was a part of. The images need to be very bold, the message clear and simple. It is similar to commercial work in that way.

The posters are so nice, and most of them are on really quality paper silk-screened by master printer Jesse Purcell of Repetitive Press in Toronto. I feel sort of terrible driving over them. But as my friend Charlie who works in maintenance pointed out this morning when I was showing him the #exhibitionstrike project, said that it does seem pretty fitting. Take something nice and drive all over it. 

So I no longer make political street posters. I have a day job at an art gallery and 3 little kids. I am using the public exhibition space while it is under my control during strike, and as we install, to call attention to the genocide in Gaza. Rather than striking and withholding my labour, I am working with the materials at hand and using my labour to also do a strange, performative, conceptual art thing called #exhibitionstrike.
