Famine Socks
Description: Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on July 13, 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox," the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia, and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time.
Description: Brutally stark and political, this black-and-white design captures the chaotic essence of Napalm Death’s legendary “Scum” album. Featuring skeleton-suited businessmen, starving children, corporate logos, and skulls—this artwork screams protest against capitalist decay and global injustice.
