Poster House is excited to partner with Dr. Jonathan Square for a close look at posters in the museum’s collection that address Black history and culture. Dr. Square will explore how Black representation in poster history has evolved over time, drawing from a curated selection of posters from the museum’s permanent collection. Whether created by Black designers, featuring Black figures, targeting Black consumers, or advocating for Black issues, there’s no shortage of overlap between Black history and poster history.

Jonathan Michael Square is the Assistant Professor of Black Visual Culture at Parsons School of Design. He is also currently a fellow in the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
