JUST SEEDS Blog

From http://justseeds.org/ -

“Justseeds Artists' Cooperative is a decentralized community of artists who have banded together to both sell their work online in a central location and to collaborate with and support each other and social movements. Our website is not just a place to shop, but also a destination to find out about current events in radical art and culture. Our blog covers political printmaking, socially engaged street art, and culture related to social movements. We believe in the power of personal expression in concert with collective action to transform society.”

“Justseeds was originally started in 1998 by artist Josh MacPhee as a way to distribute his art and the Celebrate People's History poster series. He slowly expanded Justseeds to include the work of like-minded artists. In 2006, MacPhee reached out to a dozen like-minded artists and previous collaborators as well as the political street art blog Visual Resistance in order to re-envision Justseeds as a cooperative effort. Justseeds was transformed into Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, an artist/worker owned and run cooperative and blog, that launched in the summer of 2007.”

Grafitti artists against poverty

Montana shop and charity organization “Petits Riens/Spullenhulp” invited Blancbec, Hell’o Monsters, Pae 86, Bue, End, Nico, Whitecat and Polak to decorate those boxes where people can give clothes they are not wearing anymore. This “Peau Neuve / Nieuw Kleedje” campaign is intended to make people conscious of the fact that more and more young adults (18-24 years old) are homeless these days.
