 gather to celebrate the release of the new book, Reproduce and Revolt (Soft 
 Skull Press / Counterpoint; $19.95; 978-0-9796636-1-1). Activism depends on 
 design to capture imaginations and spread a message. Reproduce and Revolt 
 not only documents some of the best activist design work of the past few

 Bay Area will host an evening of live poster printing, political art 
 displays, and other art making to promote a message of social 
 justice.\nReproduce and Revolt features the work of artists from over a 
 dozen countries. The collection contains hundreds of high-quality 
 illustrations and graphics about social justice and political activism for 
 use on flyers, posters, t-shirts, brochures, stencils, and any other 
 graphic elements of social causes. The graphics are bold, easy to 
 reproduce, and available to reproduce without permission. The book offers 
 clear instructions on how to utilize the images to improve the 
 effectiveness of visual campaigns. It also contains a short history of 
 political graphics, highlighting the vital and powerful role that graphics 
 have played in social movements all over the world – serving as tools to 
 inspire, mobilize, and transform communities. \n\nAn unprecedented 
 contribution to contemporary social movements, Reproduce & Revolt 
 highlights how artists around the globe are responding to some of the most 
 pressing issues of the 21st century, including topics such as gender 
 inequality, environmental injustice, prison reform, queer liberation, 
 immigration, globalization, and labor rights. Featuring artists from around 
 the world, including the United States, Mexico, Argentina, France, Germany, 
 and Canada, this collection offers a moving account of struggle, 
 determination, and resilience. Reproduce & Revolt will appeal to art lovers 
 – and activists - of all ages.\n\n\nReproduce and Revolt\nBy Josh MacPhee
