SUMMARY:The People’s Declaration: Grassroots Posters from 1976 and 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion and exhibition tour exploring how people made themselves heard through printmaking in 1976 and 2026.\n\n\nPhiladelphia’s commemorations of the Declaration of Independence have always included big plans\, but haven’t always embraced grassroots communities\, especially those marginalized by race\, class\, gender\, or sexual orientation. \nCurators from the Free Library and Penn’s Kislak Center will explore how Philadelphians made themselves heard through posters\, newspapers and other materials in the 1976 and 2026 anniversaries. \nMitch Fraas will show highlights from an exhibition on the 1976 “counter-celebrations\,” Suzanna Urminska will discuss posters from Mural Arts’ 2026 “Printmaking by the People” project\, in which everyday Philadelphians have imagined a new Declaration of Independence\, and Rhonda Babb will discuss a new poster-mural design created to convey the “people’s vision.” \nAfterwards\, the curators will lead a tour of the “Printmaking by the People” exhibition at the library’s Heim Center for Cultural and Civic Engagement. \nPhoto caption: Printmaking by the People Exhibition Opening at the Parkway Central Library\, April 16\, 2026.
