Description: YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK. A biting political statement about public money, military spending, and the human cost of war. Paired with wartime imagery, the phrase turns the familiar language of government expenditure into a stark reminder of what taxpayers may be funding. Inspired by historical anti-war protest graphics and political satire.
Description: In 1968, massive demonstrations occurred around the world protesting the Vietnam War, imperialism, consumerism, police violence and other issues. The largest took place in France, beginning with students in Paris and quickly spreading into factories. 11,000,000 workers—more than 22% of the total population of France at the time—went on strike for two continuous weeks in May. The student occupations and wildcat general strikes initiated across France were met with forceful confrontation by university administrators and police. Art students, faculty and staff from the Ecole des Beaux Arts established the Atelier Populaire (the Popular Workshop). They produced hundreds of silkscreen posters, including the one shown here.
