Signal is an ongoing book series dedicated to documenting and sharing political graphics, creative projects, and cultural production of international resistance and liberation struggles. Signal digs deep through our common history to unearth this often-overlooked but essential role art and culture have played in struggles the world over. We are always looking for compelling writing about the intersection of culture and social movements. You can contact us at editors@s1gnal.org. Signal is published by PM Press.
