Clearly our longtime friend and hero Josh MacPhee has been liberated by ready access to a RISOGRAPH and it's great to see him churning out publications big and small. This entirely image-based booklet is one of his more elegant works.
From the author:
This zine developed out of a series of images I started making after the white supremacist attacks on antiracist protestors in Charlottesville, NC in August 2017, including the murder of Heather Heyer. The re-purposing of El Lissitsky’s Red Wedge seemed perfect here, not simply re-using historical political imagery, but giving it new life. The zine includes ten different wedge drawings. Printed on a Risograph at Bright Spot, in Brooklyn. - Josh MacPhee
