Lee<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>July 25, 2012<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In \u201cOccupy Bay Area,\u201d the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts celebrates the social justice activism in the arts which has thrived in the Bay Area from the 1960s to the Occupy Movement. <\/p>\n<p>The curators found and paired historical street art and photojournalism from the 1960s and 1970s  with Occupy posters and video from 2011 and 2012.  The opening night on a recent Saturday hummed with energetic discussions around the shared themes of income inequality, public education spending, free speech and the influence of money in elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a large community of artists and graphic designers committed to social justice in the Bay Area, and they have created amazing imagery in support of the values of the Occupy Movement,\u201d says Betti-Sue Hertz, director of visual arts at YBCA, on the \u201cOccupy Bay Area\u201d website.<\/p>\n<p>The evening was punctuated with proclamations of \u201cmic check\u201d \u2013 an Occupy-style verbal call-and-response method for making announcements. When the group responds to \u201cmic check?\u201d with a answering \u201cmic check!\u201d then a group discussion or announcement begins.<\/p>\n<p>The mic check opens the \u201chuman microphone\u201d in which the audience members in the first row repeat the  speaker\u2019s words  to those in the second, and so on, until the message gets to the back of the room.   The YBCA two-level atrium was filled with voices more than once for these high-volume discussions, forcing the live music to stop.<\/p>\n<p>A shower of color snapshots fluttered from the balcony when one Occupier shared the street photography of artist Kelly Johnson as a gift. A  speaker drew cheers  with, \u201cWe recognize that artists are cultural workers in the movement,\u201d and another with, \u201cArtists should not have to work for free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Event participants pointed out favorite pieces to companions, took  pictures in front of the posters and posed with a giant-headed costumed Buddha Occupier, who carried a sign reading \u201cOccupy your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Occupy Links to Bay Area History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rock poster artist Chuck Sperry said he was channeling the rock posters of the 1960s when he designed his radiant, \u201cThis Is Our City\u2026General Strike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He gave away hundreds of copies of his large format double-sided print at the November 2 General Strike in Oakland in 2011.  \u201cI wanted to combat the negative view of Occupy that was happening.  I just thought it would look great to have hundreds of people waving bright, sunny posters,\u201d Sperry said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4839\" style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/4837\/arts-review-occupy-posters-inspired-by-rebellious-rocker-era\/dsc_0219\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4839\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4839\" class=\" wp-image-4839 \" title=\"DSC_0219\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0219-332x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0219-332x500.jpg 332w, https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0219-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attendees check out artwork on display at the Occupy Bay Area art show on July 14, 2012 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Photo by Shane Menez<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many of Sperry\u2019s rock posters have become collector\u2019s items with limited print runs for popular bands such as the Black Keys and Soundgarden. \u00a0When collectors ask how to get one of his Occupy posters, he cheerfully invites them to pick one up for free at a demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>For the opening night, he brought a large sheaf of posters and set them out to be liberated. \u00a0Many guests left with a rolled-up Sperry poster tucked under their arms on the way out the door.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit connects some key historical Bay Area movements and their street art to the present Occupy posters by hanging the posters on the same wall which creates a continuum of political  art through the decades.  The heavy black ink outlines in the 1960s Black Panther posters by Emory Douglas have a high contrast effect, much like the nearby duo-tone posters printed in 2011-12 by Jon-Paul Bail, who prints under the name of Political Gridlock.  <\/p>\n<p>Bail, admiring  a grouping of three Douglas posters, said his generation of political poster artists had learned much from Douglas and his activist peers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey showed us how to be part of the community and now we\u2019re raising our own kids, teaching them the same responsibility to community,\u201d Bail said.<\/p>\n<p>Photographer Ilka Hartmann\u2019s black and white photos in a different room depict the connection between the American Indian Occupation of Alcatraz, Bay Area social justice activism and the Occupy movement.<\/p>\n<p>In November 1969 an initial group of 92 American Indians occupied Alcatraz Island. More people joined the island population during the 19-month occupation, until June 1971 when federal marshals removed the small group of  remaining activists.<\/p>\n<p>Hartmann said that even though the American Indians didn\u2019t gain title to Alcatraz, their occupation \u201cinspired many people in the Bay Area and Europe to find out the history of the Native Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hidden communities of American Indians were galvanized to become leaders and educators, she said, and even \u201cPresident Nixon had a consciousness-raising that reversed Federal policy to eliminate tribal areas and gave back land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcatraz Occupier Adam Fortunate Eagle spoke to the Occupy movement in 2011 in Novato, where he currently lives, Hartmann said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4842\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/4837\/arts-review-occupy-posters-inspired-by-rebellious-rocker-era\/dsc_0275\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4842\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4842\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4842\" title=\"DSC_0275\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0275-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0275-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2012\/07\/DSC_0275-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fog City Journal reporters Catherine Lee and Brian Rinker talk to artist Chuck Sperry (center) on July 14, 2012 at the Occupy Bay Area art show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Out in the Bay Area there are more works to be found: printed and inked, pasted on walls, and shared in the public areas like the plywood walls on construction sites. The YBCA show is a good introduction to finding more activist art and poster history in the living gallery of the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOccupy Bay Area\u201d is showing until October 14.
