Angelina Lippert is the Executive Director and Curator at Poster House in New York City. She is an expert when it comes to the use of posters as a tool for mass communication and persuasion. We talk about what a poster is, the history of posters as a medium, the social effects they have, and why we should still care about posters in the digital age.
At the top of the show, we hear from Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. He’s a letterpress printer who puts ink to paper to spread messages about social justice. His beautiful body of work was recently showcased in the book Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.: Citizen Printer (Letterform Archive, 2024).
For a real crossover, you can check out Angelina’s 2020-21 exhibition of Amos’ work at Poster House: The Letterpress Posters of Amos Kennedy
