This exhibit of powerful posters, magazines, and films –– which the OSPAAAL published in four languages and distributed globally for a half century –– provides a clear window into how the OSPAAAL set the tone for solidarity politics worldwide. Produced in Cuba, with the collaboration of activists around the globe, these striking works played a pivotal role in generating international solidarity with the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, the anti-apartheid struggle, and other social movements. Revealing connections between geographically distant activists and shedding light on the roots of contemporary political movements, this exhibit is an eye-opening, transformational encounter with the most significant solidarity movement of the twentieth century.
