Random Thoughts on Poster Cards; A Solo Exhibit by Amos Kennedy @ University Gallery
University Gallery and The School of Art and Design at EMU are honored to host a solo exhibition by Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., internationally recognized for his type-driven messages of social justice and Black power, emblazoned in rhythmically layered and boldly inked prints made for the masses. Borrowing words from civil rights heroes such as Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth, Kennedy issues fearless statements on race, capitalism, history, and politics—along with plenty of witty truisms—in his exuberant, colorful, and one-of-a-kind posters and handbills. Organized by Professor Ryan Molloy
