Screen printing workshop RESISTANCE DESIGN - Realization of protest ideas
The workshop for making protest posters in the screen printing technique was realized from September 3 to 6, from 10 am to 5 pm, in the Youth Center CK13 in Novi Sad. The workshop is part of the 'Signs of Revolt' project.
Posters printed during the workshop can be seen in the yard CK13, and are displayed in the exhibition 'Signs of Revolt', which was presented at the Cultural Center REX in Belgrade from 7 to 13 September 2011. Also, posters are pasted by the participants of the workshop in public or privatized premises in Novi Sad and Belgrade.
The workshop was led by the teams Cactus from London and Škart from Belgrade. In three days, as long as the workshop lasts, the participants got acquainted with the basic principles of screen printing and dealt with the topic of Privatization of the Public.
They also got acquainted with topics that include all other forms of disturbance for the common good: resistance to privatization (space), resistance to lack of public space, the need for initiatives that address issues of changing the purpose of public space, loss, and lack of space, but also other topics which encourage them to protest.
The workshop began with a presentation of the work of the Cactus and Škart collectives, whose members introduced the participants to the work of other politically and socially engaged designers around the world. At the beginning of the workshop, the participants of the workshop analyzed and visualized words and images, and concepts inspired by the topic of Privatization of the Public.
