This paper aims to present a history of the Portuguese political poster in two key moments of twentieth century Portuguese politics, the moment of the establishment of the 'Estado Novo' (or New State) i.e., Salazar's authoritarian and quasi-fascist dictatorship which ran from 1933- 1974, and the period of the Revolution of April 25 of 1974, which overthrew the previous regime. The two distinct ideologies give rise to two contrasting modes of visual discourse. This is particularly evident in posters made in the two revolutionary moments (1933-1938 and 1974-76). These reveal ruptures in relation to the visual discourses of posters made in the periods before and after these dates. The paper shows how the posters offer a particular kind of lens on the two contrasting revolutionary moments; a way of looking at how the two revolutions attempted to communicate to and connect with the Portuguese people in whose name and one whose behalf—ostensibly in the first case, substantively in the second—the revolutions were undertaken. In terms of the understanding of activism and revolutionary graphics a contribution is made to understanding how revolutions of left and right contrastingly 2 present themselves—and how, through the use of poster, they evoke or extol particular kinds of political subjects and political orders.

The exhibition, Climactic: Post Normal Design, focuses on design and political activism surrounding issues of coloniality, crises around culture and race, and climate change in both the Global South and North. The curatorial premise of the exhibition is to engage audiences in thinking about the precarity of the age we currently live in, a precarity not in some small part due to the contemporary practices of design. Our exhibition, workshopsand panel discussions present alternative models for design that broaden human capacity to understand and intervene in social and environmental crises. Climactic: Post Normal Design is co-organized by the Carnegie Mellon University School of Design and Miller Gallery. It is the fourth iteration of a series of exhibitions and symposia initiated by Feral Experimental: New Design Thinking, shown at University of New South Wales Galleries, Sydney, Australia, in 2014.

peer-reviewed ; This article is a brief reflection on the delivery and impact of POST, a new design festival which ran from 17-20 August 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. POST was delivered by an international team – including Irish curator Aideen McCole – and focused on the disciplines of graphic design, illustration and visual communication. In addition to a disciplinary focus, POST had a thematic focus too: that of the politics of image making, the working life of the visual communicator and the ethics of design. POST was the first of its kind in Copenhagen, as a design event focused on visual communication that placed politics and ethics at its heart, and proved to be a much-needed addition to design discourse in the Danish capital.
