Bringing history’s posters to today’s civic action efforts: A Q&A with Globe Press

Civic Season posters
Globe Collection at MICA

Katz is the community engagement manager for Made By Us.

This year, Made By Us is hosting the second annual Civic Season, a time to connect with the past, take action in the present and shape the future by participating in activities contributed by over 300 history and cultural organizations nationwide. And what better way for young Americans to celebrate what they stand for than with a bright and inspiring poster?

The Civic Season official poster asks participants to share what they stand for and how they do it, but there’s a story behind this moving poster – it was printed by Globe Press, history’s go-to printer for everything from culture to politics to music.

Made By Us' community engagement manager, Cameron Katz, sat down with Allison Fisher, manager of the Globe Collection and Press at MICA to learn about the history of the press and how art is impacting our democracy today.

"Democracy in Danger" guests ponder the Jan. 6 hearings, D.C. statehood, social mobilization and the structural problems of the Constitution itself. Did America’s founders sign democracy’s death warrant at its birth?
