April 15–July 31, 2022
For our inaugural Baltimore exhibition, NoMüNoMü presents Between Two Worlds, a collection of posters and prints from artists, activists, and collectives imagining a unified global anti-imperialist movement. The show features 11 artists from the workers-owned cooperative Justseeds; 22 posters from the Organization of Solidarity of the People of Asia, Africa & Latin America (OSPAAAL); works from The Black Panther Party’s Minister of Culture, Emory Douglas, and the party’s graphic artist, Gayle “Asali” Dickson; as well as contemporary digital artists @Leftaesthetic, @Colorcollective, and Vivek Venkatraman. Alongside these works are a collection of plants indigenous to the regions represented in the prints, as well as an assortment of reading materials contextualizing the histories and movements informing the works.
The works in this show come to us from different moments in time and different parts of the world, from the 1960s to now. These images illustrate the ongoing struggle against a violent system that has done nothing but contribute to the destruction of the earth and the death and oppression of people worldwide. As we move into the third year of a pandemic that has brought the pervasive system of global capital to another crisis, we have all been given the opportunity to reevaluate how we move within this system. Despite this respite (as traumatic as it is), it has become evident that even in a moment of historic collapse the system will maintain its ruthless disposal of human life and precious earth. Together, these artists illustrate plainly that only the people will decide the future of humanity through resistance and collective action.
