The Art of Protest

<p dir="ltr">Ever wanted to make a change? In my research, "The Art of Protest," I explore what makes protests effective in social movements and how art, particularly protest posters, can serve as a tool for political change. By analyzing protest posters from the ACT UP organization during the height of the AIDS crisis, I identified striking similarities between principles of effective protest and effective design, which I used to develop frameworks for successful protest design. Through this research, I aim to build upon what makes successful movements and explore how communities can effectively organize for systemic change.</p>
