Pauline Jakobsberg's Company Details
The Graphic Workshop was started by students at The Massachusetts College of Art and Design to churn out protest posters during the 1970 national student strike that flared up after six students were killed at Kent State and Jackson State while protesting the government's invasion of Cambodia. Described as a "visual propaganda unit" that was subsidized by "blood, sweat, and friendship," the collaborative was a round-the-clock silkscreen production center under the direction of MassArt faculty member Rob Moore. The Graphic Workshop eventually evolved, adapting itself through two decades of wily not-for-profit operation whose hallmarks were idealism, elegance, and wit.They produced hundreds of silkscreen posters between 1970 and 1992, presenting progressive ideas and illustrating the evils that still ignite rebellion to this day: war, racism, and environmental destruction. The Workshop won many prestigious awards and co-founder Felice Regan contributed posters to the Smithsonian exhibition titled Images of an Era: The American Poster 1945-1975, which toured the world 1975-1977.
