Aug 30, 202201:01:47Tap to summarizeJeanette Arellano and Joe Brusky from Art Build Workers (Milwaukee, WI) join in to talk about the fight for public education, how everyone in a community can show up to help, and how art can amplify the voice of unions and social justice organizing.The Art Build Workers (ABW) are a group of six artists, designers, photographers, and educators who are based in Milwaukee, WI. We work locally and travel around the country organizing multi-day art builds that help unions, organizations, and movements amplify their messages through visual art, media, and archiving. Our motto is that before the march and before the strike there is the art build. We primarily collaborate with the National Education Association (NEA) which is the largest union in the country with an estimated membership of over 2.7 million members. ABW designs graphics for the movement and also coordinates designs from a vast network of activist artists and designers from around the country that we know. We screenprint picket signs, paint parachutes and banners, and produce offset posters that change the way demonstrations look visually, while amplifying a movement's social media presence, and helping create a space for movements to build community and become stronger.***Art Build Workers - https://artbuildworkers.com/When we Fight we Win (Box Set Edition) - https://booklyn.org/catalog/when-we-fight-we-win-box-set/Community Building through Collective Art Activism - https://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/jcrae/article/4794/galley/4762/view/What Can Art Do in the Perilous Present? https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/what-can-art-do-in-the-perilous-present/How Art Plus Activism Led to Teacher Pay Raises in New Mexico https://www.nea.org/advocating-for-change/new-from-nea/how-art-plus-activism-led-teacher-pay-raises-new-mexico***Booklyn linksWebsite: https://booklyn.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/booklynart/
