Barbara Morgan and
Red Pepper Posters

Lincoln Cushing, March 2, 2026

Barbara Morgan was a member of the seminal Chicago Women's Graphics Collective and came to San Francisco in 1976. She disappeared around 1985, and her absence was a mystery until recently. Her papers, journals, and other ephemera are currently being processed at the University of Chicago. These are the known posters made by Barbara Morgan / Red Pepper Posters, with images from the Docs Populi archive and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. More research is underway...
