Tell us about who you are and how this poster came about.
My name is Camila Tapia, and I’m the Training and Education Coordinator here at USFWC. I’m also a cooperative artist. By that I mean I have an artist worker-owned co-op called Transverse Cooperative, so I make art cooperatively, my art is often about cooperation, and I create art and design commissions for other co-ops. As I know the value of art for social movements, I offered to create art to represent USFWC in my capacity as a staff member. Art brings energy and life to the folks already doing the work, and it can attract new people in by sharing the beauty and stories of our movement. So, as the work of USFWC is bringing the national worker co-op movement together, I illustrated in this poster about how co-ops can be in cooperation with one another.
