Description
An exhibition of materials from the Come!Unity Press, a print shop that operated as a collective and a "free space" supporting myriad organizations within the 1960s–1970s social movements, including New Left groups, feminist organizations, gay rights organizations, and more. This group is a fantastic case study for movement print culture and how it is used to produce an alternative public sphere.
