Graphic Resistance: Printmaking Workshop

Join us Saturday June 6th from 1-4pm for CSPG’s annual printmaking workshop led by printmaker and teaching artist Ernesto Vazquez. In this hands-on printmaking workshop attendees will be guided through paper stencil screenprinting techniques and will leave with their own handmade print. Unwind in the Mercado la Paloma, a beautiful community with delicious food and good people! The workshop is free but space is limited.

About the Artist:

Ernesto Vazquez is an Indigenous Xicano living on Tongva lands. He is a mixed-media artist, illustrator, and printmaker who utilizes linoleum block printing, woodblock printing, and screen-printing to create work with themes ranging from political to mythic. His work has been exhibited internationally, yet he prefers to show it in galleries within the local communities of Los Angeles. Ernesto’s ties to family, street art, social justice, community empowerment issues, grassroots organizing and his upbringing in East Los Angeles are core to his process and influence.

Email [email protected] with any questions.

This workshop is created in conjunction with Graphic Resistance: Seven Decades of California Posters for Peace & Justice.

Graphic Resistance exemplifies how art is central to political organizing. The exhibition features protest posters produced in California over seven decades, from the 1950s to the present. They highlight local and international issues and events, including wars, climate change, labor, racism, sexism, immigration, homophobia, and homelessness. And while most of the posters chronicle historical events, they continue to be relevant today.
