This is the final New York stop of 'The Wobbly Show', the traveling,
global event in commemoration of the centenary of the Industrial
Workers of the World. Conceived by noted historian/author Paul Buhle.
The Show features artwork by some of today's most ground- breaking underground comic book artists and tells the story of the Wobblies' first 100 years. The IWW was the very first ecumenical Labor federation in U.S. history. Its organizers made wide use of radical arts in an attempt to create a revolutionary workers' movement. The Wobbly
Show celebrates both this militant spirit and the use of radical art, poetry and music in an attempt to rekindle it.
