Roger Peet We Can't Forget (Green Edition) 3-color screenprint $25

Roger Peet View larger image Elephants (like the African Elephant pictured here) are gregarious, intelligent beasts, descended from a long and noble line of titanic creatures (search for Platybelodon, Anancus and Deinotherium to see some extinct forms). They have language, a body of cultural rituals that include mourning, tool-use, and vocal learning, and they cooperate to solve problems. These are all qualities that humans often impute to themselves alone. In the face of the despicable ivory trade, and encroachment on their territories by hungry human hordes, their numbers continue to dwindle. Elephants don't have opposable thumbs, but they do have trunks, long memories, and a taste for vengeance. This image was created by hand from cut-paper and rubylith. 3-color silkscreen print 18" x 25" Mr. French Paper Signed/numbered edition of 25]]> ]]> tag:www.justseeds.org,2012://41.5957 2012-05-15T14:00:59Z 2012-05-15T14:09:15Z

The Animal Liberation Front Karen Fiorito People's History Poster $4

Josh M. www.justseeds.org The Animal Liberation Front Karen Fiorito $4 The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is an animal liberation group who engage in direct action on behalf of animals. These activities include removing animals from laboratories and fur farms, and sabotaging facilities. Any act that furthers the cause of animal liberation, where all reasonable precautions are taken not to harm human or non-human life, may be claimed as an ALF action. The ALF is not a group with a membership, but a leaderless resistance. ALF volunteers see themselves as similar to the Underground Railroad, the nineteenth-century antislavery network, with activists removing animals from laboratories and farms, arranging safe houses and veterinary care, and operating sanctuaries where the animals live out the rest of their lives. ALF activists believe that animals should not be viewed as property and that scientists and industry have no right to assume ownership of living beings. They reject the animal welfarist position that more human treatment is needed for animals; their aim is empty cages, not bigger ones. 2 color offset printed poster 11"x17" unsigned/unlimited edition ]]> tag:www.justseeds.org,2012://41.6036 2012-05-14T10:00:32Z 2012-05-14T10:13:01Z

Santiago Armengod Alto a la Criminalizacion de Migrantes (Stop the Criminalization of Migrants) One color Linoleum print $50

Santiago Migrante conoce tus derechos”, que se creo por algunas organizaciones aquí en México y otras al otro lado de la frontera en EEUU. Uno de los propósitos de la campana es para generar fondos para que companerxs Mexicanxs, Chicanxs e Hispanohablantes de los EEUU atendieran a la Conferencia de Medios Aliados en Detroit, Michigan en el 2011. Creemos que es importante que como latinxs alcemos la voz y que seamos escuchadxs en esta guerra en contra de nuestras comunidades y otras comunidades de gente de color en los EEUU. Es por eso que organizamos varios talleres que formaron parte de la conferencia para compartir tácticas y estrategias para proteger efectivamente a nuestras comunidades. Este grabado ha sido bienvenido , es por eso que cree dos otras versiones de esta imagen; una para la instalación de Justseeds en la Bienal de Pittsburgh en Carnegie Mellon en el verano del 2011. Al igual que otra version en serigrafia para la nueva carpeta grafica de Justseeds sobre varias problemáticas a las que nos enfrentamos como migrantes. ------- This Image was created in 2011 for an “Immigrant know your rights” campaign that was put together by organizers here in Mexico and across the border in the US. Part of the purpose of the campaign was to fundraise for Mexican, Chicanxs, and Spanish speakers from the US to attend the 2011 Allied Media Conference in Detroit, Michigan. We find it important for latinxs to raise our voice and be heard in the midst of an all out war against our communities and communities of color through out the US. Therefore we put together several workshops at the conference to share tactics and strategies on how to better protect our communities. Since people have welcomed this image well, two different versions of it have been used for the Justseeds install in the Pittsburgh Biennial at Carnegie Mellon in the summer of 2011. As well as for another silk-screened version for the new Justseeds portfolio on Immigration issues.

Roger Peet Elementary 5-color screenprint $30

Roger Peet View larger image In September, in Portland, Oregon, a huge flock of Vaux's swifts can be seen at dusk swarming into the chimney of Chapman Elementary School. The swifts historically roosted in the hollow trunks of old-growth trees, but since the vast majority of the ancient forests of the Northwest are long since felled, the swifts have had to come up with alternate plans: thus, the selection of the chimney at the Chapman school. The evening roost has become a popular spectacle in Portland, but for me the stars of the show are the hawks and kestrels that show up to pluck tasty morsels out of the stunning vortex of tens of thousands of birds.

Santiago Armengod Protejamos los Sitios Sagrados - Verde (Protect Sacred Sites - Green) Two color Linoleum print $50

Santiago Graphic Portfolio being produced in Mexico City by the ECP Martires del 68 School to contribute with graphics and bring attention to this issue as well as natural resource extraction. To learn more about the Wixarica Resistance you can visit the “Tamatsima Wahaa” Wrikuta Defense Front click HERE. Wirikuta es un sitio sagrado para la nacion Wixarica (Huichol) en el estado de San Luis Potosi, al norte de Mexico. Wirikuta como la mayoria de los sitios sagrados indigenas alrededor del mundo se enfrenta a la profanacion y destruccion en el nombre de la expansion capitalista y la extraccion de recursos naturales. First Majestic Silver, es una compania minera Canadiense que planea abrir una mina masiva que destruira este lugar sagrado y el habitat de miles de especies. La destruccion de los lugares sagrados es parte de campanas de exterminio para debilitar la autonomia de las naciones indigenas y asi acceder a valiosos recursos naturales para ser mercantilizados. Cada ano la nacion Wixarica hace peregrinaciones sagradas a Wirikuta desde los diversos estados en los que residen. Aunque muchos grupos New Age han lucrado de la cosmologia indigena y sus creencias, un gran numero de estos grupos son incapaces de solidarisarze con las luchas indigenas en defense de la tierra. Por que Wirikuta es uno de los unicos lugares en la Tierra donde crece la planta sagrada del Peyote; un gran numero de este sector casi despolitizado ha expresado su apoyo a la lucha Wixarica en defense de Wirikuta. Lo que estos grupos no pueden ver es que hay una lucha mas amplia en contra de la expansion del sistema capitalista industrial. Este grabado es parte de una Carpeta grafica que se esta produciendo en Mexico DF por la Escuela de Cultura Popular Martires del 68 para contribuir con grafica y atraer la atencion publica a este problema al igual que la extraccion de recursos naturales.

Shaun Slifer Kill Devil rum labels set of three prints $20

Shaun Silfer "Commission for Treasonous Strategies" w/ Tesar Freeman). The labels will be applied to actual bottles in the exhibit, but it made sense while I was screenprinting them to run a small edition as well. I'm trying to get at some of the cynicism of contemporary alcohol marketing by linking trends in label designs to the history of alcohol as a key component in European and American colonialism. I pulled ideas from three main themes: the transportation of Africans to North America via the trans-Atlantic slave trade (Cap'n D'Wolf's Middle Passage Rum), indentured servitude of working class Europeans on both slavers and the ships of the Royal Navy (Press Gang Rum), and the use of alcohol in the subjugation of Indigenous American peoples (Treaty Rum, Walking Purchase Special Reserve). set of 3 two-color screenprints in printed envelope signed with emboss/numbered edition of 15 ]]> ]]>
