Can Design Stop a War?
Slide lecture by Carol A. Wells
Art inspires and empowers the disenfranchised. There has never been a viable movement for social change throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, without the arts—theater, poetry, music, posters—being central to that movement. Political posters in particular are powerful living reminders of struggles worldwide for peace and justice. Communication, exhortation, persuasion, instruction, celebration, warning: graphic art broadcasts its messages through bold images and striking designs.
