Collage & Image Credits

One of P2PU’s 4 core values is open: the belief that we create value not by gatekeeping but instead by working together, sharing resources, and lowering barriers to entry. P2PU is built on open source technology and everything we create is free to share, remix, and redistribute.
In that spirit of open, we use collage in our visuals, often paired with images from our community, to diversify the imagery and imagination of the look and feel of P2PU.
We've designed free DIY flyer templates in Google Slides to help you create promotional materials with collages for your learning circles. Check out our DIY Collage + Flyer Kit!
Below we’ve shared a few of our favorite sources for open-access imagery to inspire your works*.
*Many media archives in the United States highlight the disproportionate representation of wealthy white people in historical narratives. To counter this, P2PU makes a dedicated effort to prioritize respectful depictions of people of color and women in our collages. We review the content of all materials we include in our collages (even when it’s obscured or illegible in the final piece) to avoid sources or materials that contain violent, harmful, or otherwise disrespectful representations of human beings.
