TEENS REVOLT is an exhibition of original silkscreen prints created by Parkway Northwest High Schools students through Spiral Q’s Education Intitiatives. Inspired by the used of posters in the south African anti-apartheid movement, students designed and printed posters that make bold statements about “what’s on their minds.”

In March, Spiral Q traveled to South Africa to meet with artists who were at the center of the anti-apartheid poster movement. CULTURE AND RESISTANCE: SOUTH AFRICA, THEN AND NOW displays images, interviews and ancedotes from Spiral Q’s trip and tells the story of the courageous artists who dedicated their lives and work to the struggle for freedom.

This event is part of ART IN RESISTANCE, Spiral Q’s study and celebration of art’s historic and ongoing role as a liberating force in justice movements around the world.
