Propaganda Club
What do you believe strongly enough to print?
Propaganda Club invited people to make propaganda for the things they considered important.
JAM PUBLIC provided linoleum, carving tools, paper, ink and a small printing press. Participants gathered around a shared table to talk, cut and print their own posters. The club took place across three informal evenings, combining political discussion with the slow and surprisingly cosy work of making linocuts together.
Many participants came from Kristiansand’s local art community, and the posters naturally began to address its structures, priorities and positions of power. Some prints directly named local art institutions and made concrete demands—including the return of temporary leadership positions. They did not simply comment on the local art world; they stated what should change.
Propaganda Club created a space where opinions could become images—and where individual concerns became part of a collective conversation.
The project was part of a 2024 JAM PUBLIC programme exploring what a self-organised art institution might produce through small public experiments. The programme, which also included MINI ART and FASTEST ART IN TOWN!, was supported by Arts Council Norway and Kristiansand Municipality.
