The Design of Dissent

Cross posted at Political Arguments.

New York's celebrated School of Visual Arts is hosting The Design of Dissent, an exhibition of posters and graphic arts from around the world. There's also a companion book, with an introduction by Tony Kushner.

The exhibition and book examine the varied, vital graphic response to the constraints of government and the ?powers that be? from around the globe. The works contain an element of discord, an appeal to justice and an attempt to liberate some truth that lies beneath the surface of public discourse.

The graphic works tackle a variety of issues ranging from peace, animal rights, gun control, religion, the Iraq war, equality, women?s rights, gay rights and the corporate world.

Interesting stuff, though none of it groundbreaking.
