Exhibition: Posters for Democracy in Venezuela

Digital Exhibition: Posters for Democracy in Venezuela
A poster campaign is underway in Venezuela with the aim to protest for the country to achieve restoration of freedom and democracy. The digital campaign entitled Posters for Democracy in Venezuela is a compilation of protest art and political posters submitted by many artists. These powerful images capture the volatile political situation that the country is currently facing. The social and economic turmoil in Venezuela has created a shift where democratic institutions are eroding while authoritarian politics seeks to rewrite the country’s constitution. These political posters reflect the situation Venezuelans are facing and the organizers aim to spread their messages internationally.

Exhibition Schedule:
Ongoing campaign through social media.

Anti-Nuke Movement Posters

Anti-Nuke Movement Posters

Even though nuclear weapons are still a very concerning problem (there are over 15,000 weapons around the world now) it’s not a cause that gets as much attention as it once did. This is why Global Zero, a nonprofit pushing to eliminate all nuclear weapons, partnered with the Creative Action Network to create a new campaign enlisting designers and artists to re-brand the movement.

The Creative Action Network, a global community of artists and designers, is crowdsourcing ideas for new imagery, printing it on T-shirts and posters, and then splitting the proceeds between the artists and Global Zero. Though there are a few references to the past, almost all have a very modern aesthetic.

The posters are aimed mainly at the younger audiences, who see this as a problem of the past and are often not aware of its current repercussions. The posters seek to change this perspective. As the executive director of Global Zero explains: “At the end of the day, that’s what we’re really working to achieve. Of course, we’re traying to eradicate the weapons, but ultimately we’re challenging the idea that security can be based on threats of mass destruction”.

Make Extremism History! Poster

We are deeply saddened by the Belgium attacks and we think that Poster for Tomorrow’s topic for this year couldn’t be more on point. Last week they released a wonderful new letterpress poster to promote the call for entries created by Derek Stewart with the help from Tipoteca and FAVINI. Today this poster is more relevant than ever. Please share, and help spread consciousness around the world.

Posters reveal the different ways designers think about money

The Countess Mountbatten Hospice Charity issued a challenge offering designers 50 pounds for their creative use in raising the most money for charity. London-based studio SocioDesign responded to this challenge by asking 50 designers worldwide to design a poster visualizing their ideas about money.

Demonstrating how a single topic can produce numerous eye-opening interpretations, the poster series, which will be auctioned offline, reveals the starkly different ways designers think about money, represented through a variety of artistic techniques that include photography, graphic design and typography.

Buttock cleavage Posters

These humorist posters designed by FCB Chicago were created as part of a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of preventing colon cancer. Placed strategically on the back of bus seats the posters show the lower back of people who seem to be sitting in the seat. The posters include the phrase “nobody wants to see this more than your doctor“, and a brief text explaining that colon cancer is the deadliest of the cancers that affect humans, but when detected early there are ample opportunities to minimize the damage.
