Aditi Raychoudhury. United Faces of America in Layers. 2018.
This GIF captures a bit of how each color is painstakingly layered one at a time to create the final image. That is more than 400 pulls for an edition of 100 prints. Anybody who screenprints takes it on for the love of it. Its truly backbreaking work.
If you downloaded THE UNITED FACES OF AMERICA for the Women’s March, I hope that you carried it with pride. I am now taking pre-orders for a limited edition, signed and numbered 3-color screen printed version of the poster from my homepage. The first 20 orders are also in for a special surprise!
We, the United Faces of America, are stronger than hate, and will uphold justice and human rights for all. Here we are carrying our message in front of the courthouse on Women’s March day.
Oakland Women’s March 2018.
Size: 16 in. x 20 in. Signed and numbered edition of 100 prints.
Aditi Raychoudhury. The United Faces of America. 2017. Screen print on newsprint.
Adapted The United Faces of America to a single color image. Pulled some test prints on newsprint. Step #2: Experiment with hand tinting certain areas. Step #3: Print on Kraft paper. Thank you, Compound Gallery for the Agitprop Residency Program and your astute feedback and support.
This exercise started as a multicolor image that we adapted to work for a 3-color image for screen printing to a single-color image (with some hand tinting) in the interest of time. Parameters set the tone, and it’d always fun to work with.

Trees reduce the “Greenhouse Effect” and act as carbon “sinks.”
They prevent or reduce soil erosion and water pollution.
Trees reduce water temperatures and prevent or reduce bank erosion and silt.
Trees recharge ground water and sustain stream flow.
Properly managed forests provide lumber, plywood and other wood products on a sustained yield basis.
Trees significantly decrease noise pollution along busy thoroughfares and intersections.
During a 50-year life span, a single tree will generate $30,000 in oxygen, recycle $35,000 worth of water, and clean up $60,000 worth of air pollution!
Our planet is currently losing over 15 billion trees each year. Just one acre of newly planted trees absorbs 2.5 tons of CO2 annually.
Sustainer of life, cleaner of air, moderator of climate, and home to thousands of species, where would we be without trees? And, where would be we without the wisdom to honor them?
Inspired by stories of the Panchatantra, the parrots in picture, are a-buzz with these stories, passing them on from generation to generation.
The mother elephant relies on her legendary memory and wisdom to leads her family through the complicated jungle of life.
