Her latest book is Revolutionizing Retail: Workers\, Political Action\, and Social Change. Dr. Coulter also teaches Brock’s unique “Animals at Work” course. \nMary Tremonte is an artist\, educator\, and DJ based in Toronto via Pittsburgh\, PA. A founding member of Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, she works with “printmaking in the expanded field\,” including printstallation\, interactive silkscreen printing in public space\, and wearable artist multiples. Mary has exhibited\, presented lectures and workshops\, and performed in Toronto\, throughout the United States\, and internationally. Through her work she aims to create temporary utopias and sustainable commons through pedagogy\, collaboration\, visual pleasure and serious fun. \nJustseeds Artists’ Cooperative is a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social\, environmental\, and political stance. With members working from the U.S.\, Canada\, and Mexico\, Justseeds operates both as a unified collaboration of similarly minded printmakers and as a loose collection of creative individuals with unique viewpoints and working methods. They believe in the transformative power of personal expression in concert with collective action. To this end\, they produce collective portfolios\, contribute graphics to grassroots struggles for justice\, work collaboratively both in- and outside the co-op\, build large sculptural installations in galleries\, and wheatpaste on the streets – all while offering each other daily support as allies and friends.
