Posters delight, incite, and persuade. Say It! debuts a never-before-exhibited selection of historic posters, banners, and pennants alongside recent acquisitions by women activists, designers of color, and LGBTQ+ artists to see what these makers had to say. Highlighting design strategies and production contexts, the exhibition spotlights the work that posters do out in the world.

Join us in the 1912 Gallery (1st floor Canaday Library) for an opening reception. Curator's remarks at 4:30pm.
