Emory Douglas Masterclass
Emory Douglas (born May 24, 1943) worked as the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until the Party disbanded in the 1980s. His graphic art was featured in most issues of the newspaper The Black Panther (which had a peak circulation of 139,000 per week in 1970).[1] As the art director, designer, and main illustrator for The Black Panther newspaper, Douglas created images that became icons, representing black American struggles during the 1960s and 1970s.
It was a huge honor, being selected to join the Emory Douglas Masterclass by Showroom Mama. After talking with Emory Douglas about protests and revolution the masterclass became an expo called R.I.O.T. which stands for Revolution In Our Times.
We added a piece for the expo by Taking Gill Scot Heron’s “Revolution will not be televised” lyrics/text and appropriating them to the current times and printing them on film with a screen printed background.
