Celebrate People's History Poster Series

A selection of roughly 100 posters celebrating people's history, curated by Josh MacPhee.

About the posters:
The Celebrate People’s History posters are rooted in the do-it-yourself tradition of mass-produced and distributed political propaganda, but detourned to embody principles of democracy, inclusion, and group participation in the writing and interpretation of history. Celebrate People's History is a diverse set of posters that bring to life successful moments in the history of social justice struggles. Poster artists and designers have chosen and illustrated events, groups, and people who have moved forward the collective struggle of humanity to create a more equitable and just world. The posters tell stories from the subjective position of the artists, and are often the stories of underdogs, those written out of history. The goal of this project is not to tell a definitive history, but to suggest a new relationship to the past. justseeds.org/cph
