The Ontario Museum of History & Art will debut two exhibitions this Thursday, January 9, celebrating printmaking as a voice for community issues and cultural narratives.
Mission Gráfica: Reflecting a Community in Print is a touring exhibition from San Francisco that features screenprints from Mission Gráfica, a community print center that became the most sought-after political poster center in the Bay Area in the 1980s, and the companion exhibition, Centered in Ink: Printmaking in the Inland Empire, features printmakers and screen printers of the Inland Empire who employ their artistic skills to address pressing community issues and ignite conversations about identity, activism, and environmental awareness.
Samantha Herrera, Curator of Exhibits for Ontario Museum of History and Art, and Exhibits Assistant Fernando Lopez discuss these exhibits.
