Alison Alder (born 1958) is an artist working predominantly within screen-printing media, technology-based works and "constructed environments"[1] to explore social issues in Australia, including Indigenous Australian communities,[2] and other organisations.
[1] Her works have been exhibited throughout Australia, the United States and Asia since 1982.
[7][8] Alder is currently an associate professor at Australian National University in Canberra and the Head of Printmedia and Drawing.
[2] Alder's works centre around "empowering communities through the visualisation of common social aims.
[2] In a 1982 interview conducted by Anne Morris in Alder's book with Julia Church – True Bird Grit – Alder mentions that she created political posters because she is a printmaker, who could produce works that were inexpensive to make and circulate, which were more accessible than television to a wide population of people during that time.
