Posters & Propaganda Webinar

From band posters stapled to telephone poles to the advertisements hanging at bus shelters to the inspirational prints that adorn office walls, posters surround us everywhere—but do we know how they began? Telling the story of this ephemeral art form, Dave Desimone of the Wisconsin Historical Society reexamines the poster’s roots in the nineteenth century and explores the relevance they still possess in the age of COVID-19 and modern social justice movements.  To receive the Zoom registration link for this free live virtual event, please email adultservices@harvard-diggins.org.
