I've been re-reading Steven Heller's
Design Literacy and
Design Literacy (continued) this summer in preparation for teaching a design theory class next year. Heller's
works, among other things, underscore the huge contributions left-wing and counterculture publications have made to graphic design. In that regard, there's a good article in the New York Times today (Sunday, July 21,
2013, page 25) by Maya Lau about Brooklyn’s
Interference Archive. The Archive
collects and stores publications, posters and other documents and ephemera generated by left and labor politics in the US.
Staffed exclusively by volunteers, it also hosts
exhibitions, panels, screenings and other events.
The Archive welcomes visits, participation and
donations. The
Times article gives some interesting background on the
organization's founders.
