A few weeks ago I was thinking about how I wanted to decorate my classroom (largely prompted by the learning context assignment we had to do). After talking to Sam K. who suggested justseeds.org, an artist cooperative. I ordered a few posters and I HIGHLY recommend their website!
Here's a blurb from their about us page:
"Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative is a decentralized network of 24 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social, environmental, and political stance. With members working from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Justseeds operates both as a unified collaboration of similarly minded printmakers and as a loose collection of creative individuals with unique viewpoints and working methods. We believe in the transformative power of personal expression in concert with collective action. To this end, we produce collective portfolios, contribute graphics to grassroots struggles for justice, work collaboratively both in- and outside the co-op, build large sculptural installations in galleries, and wheatpaste on the streets – all while offering each other daily support as allies and friends. Click here to check out some of our projects."
It was so hard to choice posters because: 1. so many of them were really affordable (i.e. $2-$4) 2. They were beautiful done! 3. They had great messages and represented people's history and often stories that aren't often told in our classrooms. That is what I wanted my class to be like! So I bought 4 posters (I limited myself! I started out with about 15 in my shopping cart)
I received them today in the mail so I thought I'd share. I hung them in my bedroom since I don't have my own classroom to decorate right now. I can't wait to get some more eventually!
