Join KALW and MCCLA for Mission Grafica: The Public’s Voice, a poster art exhibition documenting nearly fifty years of Bay Area creative resistance.
Since 1977, the Mission Grafica print studio and archive has empowered public art in the Bay Area. This exhibition traces the evolution of Bay Area social justice movements through posters made by La Raza Graphics and the Mission Grafica print studio. These works advocate for civil rights, tenant protections, police accountability, and cultural resilience while also expressing a bold, joyful creative spirit. Mission Grafica: The Public’s Voice offers a living timeline of how artists have aligned beauty with justice in the face of power and change.
The exhibition is on view until January 30, 2026 at KALW’s Live Event Studio, 220 Montgomery Street in downtown San Francisco.
