Shepard Fairey has brought his distinctive artistic vision to mark Farm Aid’s 40th anniversary with a limited-edition print. His “Farms, Not Factories” print captures perfectly the noble, solitary work of so many family farmers, while also highlighting forty years of action and activism fighting the same corporate greed Shepard first targeted with his OBEY campaign. We are honored that Shepard has taken note of both the history and ongoing work of Farm Aid and all of our partners in the family farm movement in creating this spectacular work of art.
**PRINT DETAILS: Farms Not Factories. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on 80# cream Speckletone
paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 500. Comes with a Digital Certificate of Authenticity provided by Verisart. $70. Available on our website.
Max order: 1 per customer/household. ALL SALES FINAL.
In this penultimate episode of Against the Grain’s series on Artists and Activism, we get personal — as in “the personal is political.” We talk to Waylon Payne, Allison Russell and Hunter Park (who performs as She Returns from War) about how their lives (and, really, all of our personal lives) are political and politicized, even if we’re not the ones framing them that way. We’re also joined by Steve Duncombe, from the Center for Artistic Activism, for context on how artists telling their true experiences can be a powerful vehicle for political expression and engagement.
And, tune in next week for our series finale!
