The Union Gallery invites you to join artist and OCAD University faculty Mary Tremonte for an interactive poster-making workshop with an activist slant. Using insight and techniques gained from her longstanding role as a community-based artist and co-founding member of Justseeds Artist Cooperative - a global network of activist print-makers - mary will facilitate opportunities for participants to engage with a broad range of artistic strategies and represetational materials over the course of the afternoon.Focusing on prison abolitionism as the overarching theme - an important consideration for a city like Kingston that houses multiple operating and non-operating prisons - participants will be able to donation some of their posters to prison justice groups, or post them around the city. A selection of the posters will be displayed in the project room of the Union Gallery in 2016.There is limited space so please email to register and drop by the gallery to make your payment by January 12, 2016. Further information on location to follow. Registration required. $15 (all materials provided).
