Appearing overnight and disappearing the next, nearly illegible, sometimes lacking critical information such as location, the posters of Remove by X bear energetic imagery and irreverent humor to advertise senior recitals, demonstrations, and performances. This selection provides a visual record of the artistic output from UC Santa Cruz students as well as a snapshot of campus life in the 20th century. Concurrently, a companion exhibition of campus strike ephemera and photographs from the same era will be on view in the Faculty Gallery through April 29, 2023.
The ephemera on exhibition is drawn from UC Santa Cruz Special Collections archives of Porter College affiliates Keith Muscutt and Kathy Foley and will take on view for UCSC Alumni Week 2023.
