-November 20th, 2008-January 4th, 2009
 Redhouse Arts Center, Syracuse, NY

Paper Politics is a major exhibition of politically and socially engaged printmaking. The
exhibit showcases print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to
engage community members in political conversation. The show has now been hung in
several venues in the United States and Canada, including in Brooklyn, Chicago,
Montreal, Seattle, Milwaukee, Portland, OR and Corpus Christi, TX.

The exhibition features work by over 180 artists from the US and around the world; an
eclectic collection of work by artists who are primarily activists, as well as artists whose
work may not always be politically motivated, but who wanted to respond to the
monumental trends and events of our times.
