(Introduction) 'Posters make ideas for social change accessible by recording struggles for peace, justice and liberation from oppression for all peoples and the environment. Posters can celebrate important acts of resistance, providing alternative explanations, interpretations, narratives and myths through creativity. Posters are telling indications of the artists' social commitment. Whether they communicate, exhort, persuade, instruct, celebrate, or warn, graphic posters still jar us to action through bold messages and striking iconography. Posters can become visible dissent.
The Graphic Imperative is a select retrospective of forty years of international sociopolitical posters. These prime examples of Agitprop stir our emotions and cause us to reflect. They utilise the powers of visual metaphor, and at times, savage irony and humour. The themes of dissent, liberation, racism, sexism, human rights, civil rights, environmental and health concerns, AIDS, war, literacy and tolerance provide a window to an age of great change...'
