Summary:
"This piece is a collaboration between Chandler O'Leary of Anagram Press and Jessica Spring of Springtide Press. The series features quotes by historical feminists, tied in with current political and social issues. Each limited-edition broadside is letterpress printed from hand-drawn lettering and illustrations on an antique Vandercook Universal One press. Each piece is printed on archival, 100% rag (cotton) paper, and individually signed and numbered by both artists. A portion of the proceeds of each piece is donated to a cause that aligns with the issue highlighted by the artwork. Jessica and Chandler have released 23 broadsides since the series began in 2008."-- www.deadfeminists.com "This broadside depicts both the horrors being carried out in 2017 in America, and our hope for clearer skies ahead. The broadside's two separate color schemes represent two worlds: Mexico and what Frida Kahlo called "Gringolandia," peace and war, heaven and hell, tolerance and bigotry, freedom and captivity, friend and foe. Like a flag-or a war zone-the two full-bleed color fields are sharply bifurcated by the border wall of white supremacy that has long since been erected in America. Yet if you follow Frida's words and footprints, starting in the trouble below and heading upward, you'll find a way through-a path across the divide." www.deadfeminists.com
