DS4SI DESIGN GYM

Social Proof Thursdays is a series of workshops where we make things together as a way to leave visible traces of our values in public—a collective proof of life, care, and refusal in the face of fascism. What does it mean to be influenced by each other in generative ways? How do we shape what’s possible by making our beliefs, visions, and solidarities public? These Thursdays are experiments in showing up, making boldly, and inviting others to do the same—through posters, stencils, zines, and whatever else helps us move in public together.

Class Description:

Join us for this workshop focused on creating powerful, reproducible works on paper — from bold protest posters to poetic prints that spread and build on the ideas of social proof. We’ll use markers, stencils, collage, block prints, and other accessible tools to design posters that speak to the world we’re trying to build — and the systems we reject. Whether it’s a rallying cry, a quiet refusal, or a message of care, come ready to create a poster which you can then wheatpaste around your neighborhood in the next Social Proof Thursdays class. No experience needed — just your voice.
