ART IN PUBLIC.

About: RED LARK WORKSHOP

We are a network of leftist artists and designers in India committed to the principles of the creative commons and the copyleft movement. This non-commercial website is an archive and workshop of creativity for diverse political campaigns—ranging from the fight against fascism and corporate capitalism to the celebration of minority identities and revolutionary histories. The graphics, texts, and images housed here are produced by us, commissioned through our collaborative network, or thoughtfully compiled and adapted from outside sources. We also work as an “advertising” or “design agency” for different social and political movements in India. We strive to credit and promote the original creators, providing their contact details wherever possible. While all the features of this website including the artworks are free to use, visitors are welcome to financially support their favourite artists or donate to the website.

Our objectives:

1. Fuel and partake in political and social campaigns for an equitable world.
2. Promote open access and copyleft principles by freely disseminating image and text.
3. Amplify and archive voices from the margins and forgotten histories.
4. Champion and support creative activism and non-mainstream artists and writers.
5. Build a collaborative network and organization of like-minded artists, writers and cultural activists.
6. Propagate the principles of Marxism-Leninism and work towards bridging and unifying the South Asian left.

FIND. READ. PRINT.

Find a poster, read its licence and credit, choose the paper size, and print. No account or payment stands between you and a download.

REMIX WITH PERMISSION.

Our Studio runs in your browser. Reuse approved elements, add your words, and export a print. A finished poster’s licence may forbid modification even when its download is free. We respect that rule.

SUPPORT THE ARTIST.

Credit belongs with the work. Use an artist’s consented support details where supplied. We do not process payments. The Wet Ink Workshop is the in-house placeholder credit, not a featured artist contribution. No real donation destination has been supplied.

THIS IS A STARTING COLLECTION.

All 18 current designs are original vector and typographic placeholder studies, dedicated to CC0. They are not borrowed work or claims of a real artist’s endorsement. The team will replace them with properly credited, explicitly licensed contributions.

PRINT AT THE RIGHT SIZE.

PDFs have exact A4, A3, A2 or 18 × 24 inch pages with outlined type. Choose “actual size” in your print dialog. The supplied print files are RGB without bleed; consult a shop before requesting CMYK or edge-to-edge finishing. A4/A2 PNG and JPEG files have actual 300-DPI dimensions.

Studio PDFs preserve vectors and outline fonts. Colour-separation views are composition previews, not calibrated press plates. Inspect a sample print before a large run.

Join the network

Artists, writers, designers and legal volunteers can contact the team about contributing, joining or commissioning campaign material. Current forms use your own email app; account uploads and server mail are not enabled.

[SUPPORT DETAILS PENDING] No site donation address or UPI ID is published. Ask the team before sending support; never infer payment details from placeholder artwork.
