Themes include dissent, liberation, racism, sexism, human rights, civil rights, collectively providing a window to an age of great change. Focusing on the issues of our turbulent times, these 121 posters endeavor to show the social, political and aesthetic concerns of many cultures in a single exhibition through delineating themes and contrasting political realities.

Gallery hours: noon–5p.m. daily or by appointment.

The Graphic Imperative exhibition at Ohio Northern is funded in part by the department of art & design and the Cultural Affairs and Special Events Committee.
