Paulo Freire (11 x 17 Poster print)
Paulo Freire was an educator and thinker who transformed the act of learning into a tool of liberation, challenging the structures that keep the oppressed locked in cycles of silence and subjugation. Through his development of critical pedagogy, he exposed how traditional education served the interests of the ruling class, treating students as passive recipients rather than active agents in their own transformation. His landmark work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, called for a dialogical, collective approach to education—one that equipped people not just with knowledge, but with the consciousness necessary to transform their world. Freire’s work resonated far beyond the classroom, offering a method for organizing, for cultural resistance, and for building solidarity among the dispossessed. By rooting education in the lived experience of the people and insisting that theory must be born from struggle, Freire gave generations of revolutionaries a framework for liberation that began not with charity, but with dignity and shared power.

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.
