abstract
Flour + Water is a retrospective of the work of Naguals Press, a graphic design collective that creates and pastes public service announcements in solidarity with groups working towards solving an injustice. In acknowledgment of the role that “contemporary” forms of technology play in advancing the processes of social justice, Flour + Water utilizes wheat pasting as a traditional form of technology which evolves and re-envisions itself in response to contemporary political contexts and conditions. The material simplicity of wheat pasting makes it an inherently accessible and democratizing form of urban messaging.
