Special Collections received a limited edition portfolio of Occupy-themed materials from Occuprint, an organization dedicated to the visual culture of the Occupy movement. Our new materials include the poster issue of The Occupied Wall Street Journal (No. 4, November 2011); one signed copy of Dave Lowenstein’s spray-paint and stencil painting, “Tip of the Iceberg”; one print of Alexandra Clotfelter’s “The Beginning is Near” poster; and 31 hand silk-screened prints of posters selected from the designs displayed at occuprint.org. The Claremont Colleges Library was one of the sponsors of this project.
If you would like to come into Special Collections to see these posters, you can register as a reader and make your request online!
