Date: June 27th 2008

Hello Soft Skull devotees!

As we trudge into the sweaty doldrums of summer, we must cling feverishly to the few things left in this post-solstice world that give us solace: subway air-conditioning, endless flip flops, the friends we tolerate only because they have a pool, and of course, revolutionary political graphics.

So this Monday, June 30th, strap on your best sandals, wash the chlorine out of your hair, and hop on the frigid F train to Bluestockings for the release party of Josh MacPhee's "Reproduce & Revolt/Reproduce Y Rebélate," a collection of contemporary political graphics from around the world. "Reproduce & Revolt" contains original art intended to be freely used on political posters, fliers and campaigns. It also includes a history of the reproducible political graphic and a design how-to for anyone interested in using the images in the book to help change the world.

The book features over 100 street artists, poster makers, and graphic designers from more than 25 countries. Josh MacPhee will be giving a presentation on the book, and many of the NYC-based artists will be in attendance, giving you and your fan-boy friends a chance to chow down on refreshments and rub radicalized elbows with some of the cities most socially aware artists.

The whole thing takes place on Monday from 7 to 10 PM at Bluestockings Bookstore, 172 Allen Street in Manhattan. Hope to see you there!

All the best,
Soft Skull Press
