SUMMARY:Flashpoint! Reading Room at Printed Matter
DESCRIPTION:Printed Matter presents Flashpoint!\, a traveling reading room exhibition organized by 10×10 Photobooks dedicated to protest photography in print. The presentation brings together a selection of photobooks\, zines\, posters\, pamphlets\, independent journals\, and alternative newspapers from the 1950s to the present. Across these formats\, photography emerges as both a tool of protest and a cultural artifact of resistance\, capturing political struggles as they unfold and as they are later remembered. \n\n\n\nOn view March 12-May 31\, 2026. Opening reception March 12\, 6-8 pm \n\n\n\nRelated EventsProtest and Resistance PostersPanel Discussion at Printed MatterAdrian Franks\, Arthur Fournier and Daylon OrrThursday\, 2 April\, 6 pmDetails \n\n\n\nHistory Repeats Itself: Curating ProtestSponsored by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art\, Prints and Photographs\, The New York Public LibraryPanel Discussion at The New York Public LibraryLa Tanya Autry and Maggie Mustard\, moderated by Deirdre DonohueWednesday\, 13 May\, 6 pm \n\n\n\nBy placing photobooks alongside posters\, DIY zines\, pamphlets\, and independent journals\, Flashpoint! highlights the manifold roles photography plays in resistance movements. Many featured works are a direct product of activist intervention\, while others are carefully constructed publications made retrospectively with the intention to contextualize a historical event. This diversity of works is reflected in their wide spectrum of aesthetic approaches\, which range from raw and immediate to deliberate and methodical. Presented together\, these materials prompt questions about how images circulate within movements\, how urgency shapes visual language\, and how protest is recorded (and reinterpreted) through print. \n\n\n\nThe Reading Room is structured thematically into seven broad sections: Anti\, Gender\, Displacement\, Race & Class\, Environment\, Political\, and War & Violence. Each features multiple sub-themes which document resistance related to anti-government\, anti-globalization\, women’s rights\, AIDS\, anti-apartheid\, civil rights\, anti-imperialism\, workers’ rights\, territorial disputes\, student protests\, national populism\, anti-colonialism\, revolution and gun violence\, among others. \n\n\n\nAuthors and artists with works in this iteration of the Flashpoint!
