Stop the Bloodshed
An Exhibition of Gaza Protest Posters
Opening Date: Wednesday, 21st Jan 2009 | 6:00 pm
When T2F started, we wrote a blog post about “Design Anarchy” – a plea to graphic designers to use their talent for social commentary. Read the post here: http://www.t2f.biz/design-anarchy/
We hoped it was only a matter of time before someone would step up and and demand a platform …
A few days ago, Shajee, a design student, wrote:
“The situation in Gaza bothered me and I started thinking about what I could do. I started putting up pictures on Facebook, hoping to provoke people into reacting. I soon realized it wasn’t enough and that something more public needed to be done. I remembered our campaign against the university fee hike and decided to use the medium of graphic design to condemn the offensive in Gaza. I talked to a couple of colleagues, and soon, over a dozen people came on board, including teachers and alumni. We were wondering if we could put up an exhibition of protest posters at T2F. We’d like to open on 21st January because it will be the first Bush-Free day in 8 years!”
Obviously the answer was a resounding YES.
Please join us at T2F for an exhibition of posters by graphic designers expressing their outrage against the violence in Gaza.
