The Chicago
Women's Graphics Collective was organized in 1970 to create posters
for the growing women's liberation movement. The
Women's Graphics Collective used silkscreen to create large brilliantly
colored prints in large quantities on a low budget. Later the
group used offset printing for the more popular posters. The
founders of the Graphics Collective wanted their new feminist
art to be a collective process in order to set it apart from the
male-dominated Western art culture. Each poster was created by
a committee of 2 to 4 women led by the artist/designer. Thousands
of posters were sold all over the world until the Graphics Collective
dissolved in 1983. Browse
