AKONADI 2010 POSTER CONTEST
The Akonadi Foundation sponsors a annual contest to encourage a creative outpouring of posters that reflect people in communities of color, their movements to for social change and their vision for a world without racism. Here in Oakland, daily stories in communities of color go untold: Students challenging the “achievement gap” by demanding schools with college-track courses; neighbors refusing to let developers projects displace them and destroy their livelihood and culture; young people producing music to tell about their own lives and struggle; communities rallying against racial profiling and police harassment; parents calling for more investment in schools and less in jails; people calling for green and healthy jobs that contribute to the health of their communities. While the work is unfinished, each of these stories represents a strand of larger movement for racial justice.
Show the world what racial justice looks like. Help us translate these stories into a poster design.
