Taring Padi, People's Liberation. Collective Banners 2023-2026
Sale Docks, Venice.
May 3 — July 31 2026
People’s Liberation is an exhibition of a series of large scale banners that were created for political education, propaganda, and mobilisation. Apart from woodcut posters and cardboard puppets, banner is one of three mediums and artistic practices that Indonesian collective of art workers Taring Padi has been utilising as political tools since 1998.
Between 2023 and 2026, Taring Padi developed a new series of People’s Justice banners, produced largely through collaboration with progressive organisations, collectives and individuals across four continents.
The banner People’s Liberation (People’s Justice series n. 9) carries the slogan “Abolish Fascism, Organize Autonomy”, emerso dalla collaborazione tra l’Institute of Radical Imagination e Sale Docks.
The exhibition People’s Liberation is produced by Sale Docks, the Institute of Radical Imagination and the Collective of Art Workers Taring Padi, with the support and collaboration of Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, Casa do Povo, Tricontinental Institute, Framer Framed, Jaringan Masyarakat Peduli Pegunungan Kendeng, The Kitchen, Globe Aroma, Subversive Film, The Question of Funding, Learning Palestine, The Art Gallery of Western Australia, Cantadora, ProppaNOW, Milani Gallery and Manifesto Press.
