Winnipeg in the early 80's was a radical kind of place, and that's where I lived for the high school and two years of post secondary education.
It was the time of pro-disarmament marches, as seen in this poster which I found while cleaning out the garage this weekend:
I also found the following, which I'd made in 1982 and wore (note the holes for attaching strings - I wore these like a "sandwich billboard") when I went on the Walk for Peace
Looking for some good learning opportunities? The Center for Artistic Activism has a great set of webinars related to the arts and activism. They are online and free; some include handouts.
Here's how they describe them:
C4AA Fundamentals is a free webinar series is designed to cover the core concepts of artistic activism for people motivated post-election. We don’t have answers, but we can provide some structure to your thinking and planning around how to creatively, and effectively, respond in the weeks to come.
Note that some videos are more interesting and challenging than others which can be slow and average. So do not judge the whole series by the one you watched! For example, the first two are average (though the first one is a good intro); the next three videos (3 - 5) are more interesting.
