| Description: |
A global collection of socially and politically driven graphics that voice dissent, challenge status quo, and speak truth to power, curated by Milton Glaser, the dean of American graphic designers, and Mirko Ilic, a leading illustrator and art director. |
| Synopsis: |
Dissent is an essential part of keeping democratic societies healthy, and our ability as citizens to voice our opinions is not only our privilege, it is our responsibility. Most importantly, it is a human right, one which must be fervently fought for, protected, and defended. Many of the issues and conflicts visited in the first edition of this book remain vividly present today. They are simmering, sometimes throbbing, reminders of how the work of democracy and pace of social change are often incremental, requiring patience, diligence, hope, and the continuing brave voices of designers whose skillful imagery emboldens, invigorates, and girds us in the face of struggle. The 160-plus new works in this edition document the Arab Spring, the Obama presidency, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, the election of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin's continuing influence, the Women's March, the ongoing refugee crises, immigration, environment and humanitarian issues, and much more. This powerful collection, totaling well over 550 images, stands not only as a testament to the power of imagery but also as an urgent call to action. |
