NEW SILENT ARMY PUBLICATION WITH LGBTIQAP+ YOUTH
Opens 6pm Wednesday 17 May,
Exhibition continues until 18 June
Krack! Studio
Lapangan Minggiran, Yogyakarta
For this exhibition we invited friends from print studios around the world to design a poster for an imaginary science fiction movie. They interpreted the theme in all sorts of ways; some explored how contemporary global politics is unfolding: do we have hope for the future? Or is resistance futile? Others explored the medium of screenprint itself: is the screenprinted poster still a medium for resistance movements, or has it become a luxury commodity for the Art market? All the works have been screenprinted at Krack in eye-popping sci-fi detail. The future awaits you at Krack!
