UNIvERSITY of Miami PrintMaking Project

Red Line Service is proud to partner with The Human Rights Program at University of Miami School of Law to build a web page of graphic resources that advocates can dip into and use as needed in their campaigns to encourage the U.S. to ratify the UN Human Right to Housing. The Human Right to Housing includes seven dimensions: legal security of tenure, availability of services, affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, and cultural adequacy. In the first year of the project Red Line Service partnered with William Estrada’s Radical Printshop Project, to learn lino cut printing. Red Line Service artists with lived experience of houselessness created the powerful concepts and content for this print campaign. In the second year of this solidarity project, Red Line Service partnered with Angee Lenard and Jessica Cochran of Process/Process to learn the technique of screen printing to create more concepts to shift the narrative of houselessness away from a story of individual moral failure and toward a story that highlights systemic failure.View and download the works for your advocacy campaign here. And read coverage of the project in the South Side Weekly. In addition to being available on the website for download, the prints have traveled to The Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City, IN as part of their Healers and Dreamers exhibition;
The 12th Session of the World Urban Forum in Cairo, Egypt; SMASH Miami; and one of the images was used as the signature image on the certificates received by the National Homelessness Law Center's Human Right to Housing Awardees in 2024.
