Please join Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty Marsha Hopkins in welcoming artist and activist Doug Minkler as guest lecturer to her course, Civil Rights: Artists.
Doug Minkler is a San Francisco Bay Area printmaker specializing in fundraising, outreach, and educational posters. He is committed to bringing to light the issues surrounding justice, war, ecology, and labor worldwide. Past collaborations include work with ILWU, Rain Forest Action Network, SF Mime Troupe, ACLU, The Lawyers Guild, CISPES, United Auto Workers, Africa Information Network, Ecumenical Peace Union, ADAPT, Cop Watch, Street Sheet, and Veterans for Peace. His colorful, insightful award-winning work has been collected, respected, sued, and booed by supporters and dissenters of his commitment.
Corporations want artists to glorify their wars, their products and their philosophies. I make posters for my own preservation, that is, planetary preservation. My prints are inspired not by rugged individualism, but by the collective humor, defiance and lust for life exhibited by those on the margins. --Doug Minkler
