Black Power to Black People: Branding the Black Panther Party
2 Mar 2023 — 10 Sep 2023 at Poster House
· New York City
Black Power to Black People: Branding the Black Panther Party is a 2023 exhibition at Poster House, New York, exploring the graphic language and visual branding strategies employed by the Black Panther Party. Through posters, newspapers, and other printed ephemera, the show reveals how the Party harnessed the power of design to communicate its ideology, recruit members, and project a unified, defiant image to the world.
From the iconic imagery of the black panther symbol to the bold typography of the Black Panther newspaper, the exhibition demonstrates that the Party's visual culture was as radical and deliberate as its politics. Visitors are invited to consider how graphic design can serve as a tool of resistance, solidarity, and community empowerment.
