This installation features 18 designed propaganda posters printed on 126 sheets of 8.5 x 11″ paper, displayed on a wall in a full wall sized installation.

Everything is repeating itself– the headlines we see online and the events happening around us. The parallels between every new action done by the US government we see and those of terrible historical events are ever present in this current political climate. This, however, is nothing new. Our government has been doing these horrific actions, engaging in oppression of other cultures and our own since the beginning of its existence. The current state is more overt in its actions of harm, making its people acutely aware of its many flaws, but without diving deeper than its surface level cause.

The large collage of posters creates the same feeling of overwhelm as the current news cycle, with the repeated posters emulating the same repetition we see online. The headlines are beside a relevant political or protest slogan to demonstrate the feeling of righteous anger at the events happening around us, demonstrating a rational response to these horrific events. The typeface used, paired with stars and the red, white, and blue color palette, associates itself with Americana aesthetics, historical political campaigns, and protest posters of decades past. This work aims to drive more people to act and outwardly demonstrate their discontent for the people in power and the system we live under that is directly causing these things to happen.
