Kansas People’s History Project participant

exhibit, Kansas People's History ProjectI am excited to be a part of the Kansas People’s History Project, a poster project to celebrate the remarkable but little-known stories, events, and people of Kansas. The project is an ongoing effort led by two Lawrence-based artists, Dave Loewenstein and Justin Marable.
 
My poster represents the peace vigils led by the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice from the 1990’s to today, and is among twenty posters that were screenprinted for the project by Justin.
