See Red Women’s Workshop, Capitalism Also Depends on Domestic Labor screenprint, London, 1975
In 1974, a group of artists founded the See Red Women’s Workshop to further the women’s liberation movement. Their posters address gender discrepancies in pay, capitalism’s reliance on unpaid homekeeping and childrearing, sexist depictions in advertising, and uniting women against racism.

Thank you to @letterformarchive for hosting yesterday’s Salon event with Morgane Côme and yours truly.
Working at incredible speed while we slept, the archive has published the recording online already. All 85 minutes can now be viewed here:
https://letterformarchive.org/shop/salon-series-56-the-history-and-craft-of-french-sign-painting/
The book itself is such a treat and I highly recommend North American customers ordering a copy directly from Letterform Archive:
https://letterformarchive.org/shop/lettres-decoratives/
Those in Europe/elsewhere can compare shipping prices with those in the BLAG shop, which is a great alternative to other online retailers 😊:
