Description

Black Panther Party Stamp Book is a 25-page (excluding photography accreditation pages) unbounded book contained within a blue clamshell cover by Kyle Goen. The Black Panther Party was a black political and civil rights organization that emerged out of the civil rights movements of the mid-1900’s that advocated for black justice and exposed police violence. On the outside of the front cover is a screen-printed black panther. Inside the covers there are newspaper-style text and images screen-printed outlining the platform issues of the Black Panther Party, a tribute to the founding member, The 25 pages themselves contain a different photograph (printed in either black or black and red) repeated 20 times on each with perforations around each image. This emulates traditional stamp books utilized by average people to mail items in the US postal system.
