Design Revolution

I had the pleaseure of attending the launch of the new Emory Douglas Exhibition at Urbis, Manchester.

Emory Douglas is the First and only Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party.
There are lots that can be said about the cultural impact of the work of Emory Douglas and the Black Panther Party, from the first depiction of police and politicians as pigs and police to the free school meals.

This exhibition goes some way to covering the various cultural and historical situation as well as the very graphical work on show.
The work evokes the political social artwork of the time and even puts to shame some of the digital techniques used in design today.
Definitely worth a look, and it's on till March 09
