Printing — and reprinting — resistance
from Crosscurrents · host KALW
The Bay Area has a long history of activism and protest that lives on today. And when you walk our sidewalks, you still might come across a flyer on a telephone pole that leads you to a community event… or an act of civic disobedience. These days it's safe to say, most of those flyers are made on a computer. But in San Francisco’s Mission district, there’s it's a well kept tradition of screenprinting those posters. The practice is as resilient as the community that developed it.KALW’S Rae Kim takes us to meet an artist from that community who still believes in the magic of printing messages by hand.
