Amílcar Cabral (11 x 17 Poster print)

Amílcar Cabral was a revolutionary strategist and cultural theorist whose leadership in the anti-colonial struggle of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde fused clarity, humility, and an unshakable commitment to the people. Trained as an agronomist, Cabral understood the material and cultural conditions of rural life, grounding his politics in the daily realities of peasants and workers. He led the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) not only as a military force, but as a vehicle for consciousness-building, insisting that liberation required reclaiming cultural identity and rejecting the dehumanizing logic of colonial domination. Cabral taught that the struggle must be both national and class-based, refusing the false choice between independence and socialism. He insisted that revolutionaries must be shaped by the people they serve, not elevated above them, and warned against the corruption of post-colonial elites before independence was even won. His assassination in 1973 was a profound loss, but his words and method continue to serve as a compass for liberation movements across the world—centering dignity, culture, and the disciplined work of organizing from below.

Supporting independent artists cultural workers under capitalism

Making independent art is not without its challenges. It is not cheap, easy, or quick, and it is often not valued in a material sense. However, artists still need to eat and pay rent.

Contemporary art, media and journalistic praxis, and cultural work more broadly are often exploited in building social movements, yet they are often unstable and precarious at best.

This project offers a free library of downloadable zines and other resources, and your support is appreciated! Right now, the project is not yet making enough money to cover the costs of making, printing, and shipping the materials but with your support we'll get there!
