Poster Campaign
—
A proposal for Witness,
a non–profit organization which educates and equips individuals with video cameras to document human rights concerns and abuses in their communities. The organization sought out proposals highlighting global responsibility toward human rights.

By selecting newspaper headlines, and rewriting them by switching the order of the country names, my poster campaign called to question the pegging of certain reputations to countries and the ability of the media to sustain these stereotypes. My work aimed to create a situation in which the accepted order was reversed, demonstrating that human rights is a global responsibility, and that no country is immune from such abuse and dependency. My hope was that the headlines would make people look twice, and acknowledge that a country’s global reputation is fragile at best. Through a crude typographic treatment using a stencil type and dripping ink executed through screen printing, I aimed to highlight the urgency and power of such statements.
