There’s a special graphic art exhibition on display inside the Eastern Michigan University Student Center, featuring 74 politically based posters from artists around the world.

The “Posters of Discontent” exhibition was organized by EMU professor of graphic design in the school of art and design, Andrew Maniotes.

I spoke to him about the graphic art display…

In addition to the 74 posters from artists around the world, Eastern Michigan University graphic art students were asked to express how they felt about the racist graffiti found on the EMU campus.

Those posters have been added to the exhibition which can be seen in the EMU Student Center Gallery through October 12.
