Posters for Peace & Justice 2012 Wall Calendar

Product Review

From the days of the Quaker broadsides against slavery to the current conflict in the Middle East, people have used ink and paper to speak out for peace and justice. Amber Lotus is proud to present the Posters for Peace & Justice 2012 Wall Calendar, a survey of modern political poster art. Among the many types of activist art and the plethora of perspectives they voice, posters for peace and justice stand out. Combining texture, color and succinct written messages to call viewers to action, these images can be seen papered along brick walls, stapled to power poles, stuck to bumpers, duplicated on T-shirts and digitized on the Internet.
Produced in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Political Graphics and various independent artists, this inspiring calendar offers reprints of political action posters, many of them still disturbingly relevant, combined with mission statements on the posters from the original artists.

The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks. In addition to printing our products on recycled paper, Amber Lotus Publishing continues to plant trees and offset our carbon footprint with NativeEnergy.

This calendar has some classic protest images, and some modern graphics too. The pages are a good size, but the actual calendar is squeezed a little by a full column of image history that could have been a little more compact.
On the other hand, it marks holidays from every culture and religion, so you'll always have something to celebrate! ;)

The art is of days past, but still, speaks volumes. Each month has an informative caption with it's art. The day squares are smaller but still big enough to write Dr. apt. Holidays seem marked for several cultures.

Excellent!, January 10, 2012

I have purchased this calendar for the last 4 years. We use it as our kitchen wall calendar. There are several reasons to love this calendar. The images are always interesting and evocative. There are usually 8-10 social justice stories that are completely new to me and all are new for my children. It is a great opportunity to educate and discuss each months topic with my kids. We all look forward to the coming month's topic and image. I appreciate the variety of holidays and meaningful anniversaries that represent a multi-cultural perspective. On a purely practical note, we USE this calendar and there is enough room for me to write in activities for all four family members.
