The Department of Visual Arts at Fordham University is pleased to present a new exhibition, Political Engagement Posters, simultaneously in both the Lipani Gallery and the Ildiko Butler Gallery.

Objective: we gave our students in the Graphic Design and Digital Tools class the assignment to design a poster that engages their peers in the voting process. Result: the task’s response was so enthusiastic that the posters have filled the Lipani Gallery walls and necessitated installing additional posters in the Ildiko Butler Gallery atop a preexisting exhibition.

We hope that these inspirational, educational, and provocative posters remind our community of their privilege and civic duty as we approach election day. The eye-catching and informative posters on display will undoubtedly encourage participation in the democratic process and foster an appreciation for clear, effective design.
