Dispatch a (small) sampling of the many DIY political T-shirts Americans have been self-producing to reaction to recent politics, and especially in support of favored candidates...
Grass roots campaigning was the buzz word for the Obama election in a cultural climate where DIY, craft and micro-industry are once again popular as a labor-movement. Dispatch, in the back gallery, is an exhibition of DIY political T-shirts submitted by citizens around the country, made by both professional and non-professional or never-before artists and designers. The latest election inspired an unprecedented number of DIY political T-shirts, worn, given away and sold; with millions of dollars spent (and made) on elections, these printers wore their opinion on their sleeves, designed ‘free’ propaganda or even turned a profited. Dispatch draws attention to how artwork and micro-industry became an important form of participation in a millennial political process where capitalist style branding and grass-roots were not-so-strange bedfellows.
