Start Soma Propaganda III Update

In January, when it was announced, I let you know about Start Soma’s Propaganda III World Tour. If you remember, the focus of the tour is not to sell art, but rather to celebrate free speech and freedom of expression. The format of this tour makes it a true exercise in global, peer-to-peer, open source political art showcasing. The San Francisco Gallery will be opening on (fittingly) July 4th, and will be touring the world thereafter. For those interested, you can find poster submission guidelines here. As they receive submissions, they’re putting them into a Flikr gallery and making them available for download onto your mo-bile— there are already some great political designs and messages. And for you galleries and venues out there that might be interested in hosting an opening, email John Doffing (john@startsoma.com)– the only requirement is that you host a one day opening, and that you pay to have the posters shipped to the next venue. Small price to pay to be part of the world’s first truly global, peer-to-peer, open source art show!
