From the psychedelic typography used in “Make Love Not War” posters of the ’60s to the solitary raised fist, some of the most memorable and striking protest artwork from across the world and throughout history deserves a long, hard look.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Eh, if it’s all the same to you, I’d say maybe just make a new post at your leisure (tomorrow, or whenever you feel like it). Let us know if that’s not what you wanted. Thanks! -- goodnewsfortheinsane



 
realized it was another book with a similar title that i'd seen initially. mods, please delete/switch out with this:
“No Wall Unclimbed” and “No Fence Uncut” —this diptych was designed in support of resistance to controlling people’s movements. Josh MacPhee explains: “People move. This is a reality, plain and simple. It is criminalized and made painful, and even lethal, by the borders created by states, capitalism, and xenophobes.” The tag “No one is illegal” references the notion that declaring a human being illegal is in itself an illegal act by fact of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)” [good trouble]

or, alternatively, feel free to keep both up. ("One Movement, One Message, Many Voices")
thank you!
