"Get Out the Vote" posters and sign

The sign, explaining the class project, reads, "Get out the vote! | Get out the vote posters on display here were | created by students in Bridget Draxler's First-Year | Seminar course "The Language of Activism" (Fall | 2022). | In the course, students have been studying activist | art and researching local political issues. For this | project, students created a poster that used their | research topic to motivate St. Olaf students to vote | in the upcoming midterm election on Tuesday, | November 8. They also created artist's statements | that rhetorically analyze their own artwork. | Special thanks to Rebecca Machado, Alyssa Melby, | Ezra Plemons, and Jillian Sparks for supporting this | project. Please contact Bridget Craxler with any | questions: draxler@stolaf.edu. | This class assignment and its public display does | not indicate any endorsement or sponsorship of any | candidate running for office or any political party by | students or faculty in this course or St. Olaf College."
