San Francisco Poster Syndicate

The San Francisco Poster Syndicate grew out of the crisis in higher education — student debt, underpaid labor, and the exploitation of adjunct faculty. Since 2014, we’ve expanded our work alongside unions and grassroots organizations across a range of social and economic justice movements.

We are an artist collective that creates and screenprints original images, continuing the rich history of posters as a form of political messaging. We live-print posters at political actions, exhibitions, and in the streets, and we give the work away for free to address a variety of current social and economic justice issues.

Our Logo

José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) created thousands of popular images with his prints. His imagery was used in broadsides and street papers in his lifetime, and he was lionized as the father of Mexican printmaking and political art by Diego Rivera and members of the Taller de Gráfica Popular.

We use one of Posada's calaveras as our logo because his legacy inspires art for the people.

Your donations keep ink, paper, and screens ready so this art can stay free and on the streets, in the hands of the people.
