Join us this Saturday from 1-4pm for a special edition of our screen printing workshop featuring a teach-in on People’s Propaganda by Marvin James (@guiiided) as we begin a series of printmaking workshops at Legacy Library / Black Lantern Books in Inglewood.

After the teach-in guests are invited to practice screen-printing propaganda of their own. Bring your own cotton garments and print your own material artifacts with support from ITS-IN-SCOPE founding archive caretaker, Marvin James. 

This month’s featured screens are Checkmate and Harriet’s Black Lantern – the featured designs alongside a dozen others are available for $10/print in black ink. This is a post-perfect, self-determined screen-printing workshop for the folks, brought to you by The People’s Propaganda Printmaking Studio c/o ITS-IN-SCOPE.

On April 1965, the Dominican Republic erupted defending itself from imperial forces, this began the April Revolution. You can read more about the revolutionary Francisco Alberto Camaaño (in Spanish), or the Social Democrat president Juan Bosch at Legacy Library.

Some bundles donated and added to the distro, gotta get our people right 🫶🏽
