Art Workers (SAW)
Land & Globalization Poster Series
This
collection of 25 posters represents artists from 10 different countries
and over 20 different cities. These posters illustrate specific
struggles in countries like Brazil and the United States, and they
also tackle international issues around poverty and gentrification.
Along with a strong critique of imperialism, the posters show how
communities throughout the world resist corporate power.
Based in the U.S., Street Art Workers (SAW) is a network of printmakers,
stencil artists, graffiti writers and designers who use the streets
for art and activism. Their goal is to “back our cities and
towns from the businessmen, cops and politicians who define public
space for their own benefit. As a volunteer-run group, we make street
art for political campaigns and post each other’s work across
North America. Many Justseeds artists are involved in SAW, and inside
this poster set are posters by Icky A., Nicolas Lampert, Colin Matthes,
Erik Ruin, Meredith Stern and Pete Yahnke. Other artists include
Lex Drewinski (Germany), Collectivo Sublevarte (Mexico), Sébastion
Cortes (France), Anthony Garner (Spain) and Slawek Rogowski(Poland).”
