Join us at MCAD for an exclusive screening of Freedom on the Fence and a discussion with director Andrea Marks about the film and the art of Polish posters. Whether you're a designer or are simply interested in art and design history, cultural history, or politics, you’ll want to be at MCAD Auditorium 140 on November 19th.

Freedom on the Fence presents a history of Polish poster art from WWII through the fall of Communism, detailing the evolution of this art form by revealing the revolutionary role posters played in the social, political, and cultural life of Poland. The film fuses contemporary footage of Warsaw and Krakow with remarkable archival footage (from the Polish National Film Archive) of posters on the streets and artists at work, providing context and demonstrating the contribution poster art made to Polish culture.
