The People’s Library is an artist collective devoted to ending colonial, institutional, and systemic violence through both art and education. We use art as a tool for empathy and political critique with a focus on screen-printing. We run workshops that seek to empower members of underrepresented communities with the means to express their experiences and ideas in a way that activates their peers. The People’s Library encourages a grassroots learning environment to escape the hierarchical pedagogy of institutions. Through horizontal leadership and shared responsibility, we work collaboratively to achieve our goals. We work to each of our strengths as equals, rather than working as teacher to student or artist to client.
