People’s Liberation is an exhibition of a series of large scale banners  that were created for political education, propaganda, and mobilisation from 2022 until now. 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 a political tool  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. This exhibition shows together the recent works of Gaza artist Mosaab Abusal on the current emergency for Palestinian people in the strip.
⠀
People’s Liberation banner (People’s Justice series no. 9) carries the slogan “Abolish Fascism, Organize Autonomy.” The slogan emerged from collaboration between the Institute of Radical Imagination and Sale Docks.
⠀
The People’s Liberation exhibition is produced by Sale Docks, the Institute of Radical Imagination, and Collective of Art Workers Taring Padi, with the solidarity supports and collaborations from 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, Manifesto Press.
