Philadelphia Theatre of the Oppressed has held public events since 2008. Some of these focus on particular Theatre of the Oppressed techniques (like Games or The Rainbow of Desire), while others target specific issues (like gender, gentrification, and undoing racism). Our mission is to make Theatre of the Oppressed ("T.O." for short) accessible and affordable to people by offering short workshops for a sliding scale tuition. In doing this work we look to the network of other social justice groups who have laid the foundation for how this work gets done. The international Theatre of the Oppressed community has been very supportive in sharing its experiences, and now we'd like to give something back: graphics.

For all T.O. Philly events we print a flyer featuring images by visual artists from around the world. Some of these images come from Reproduce & Revolt (a.k.a. Reproduce Y Rebélate—the entire text is in both English and Spanish), a collection of copyright-free graphics, and other images are gathered with permission from the artists. T.O. Philly coordinator Morgan Andrews adapts these images, adding text to suit the material covered in various workshops. Here we offer we offer a growing collection of these images so that other people using Theatre of the Oppressed can have a bank of graphics that can support this work. Reproduce! Multiplicate! Enjoy!
