Graphic designer and activist Sesil Knage (aka @Barrikadegrafik) is bringing her exhibition to Göteborg!
The exhibition is a unique collection of her left wing posters from the last 10 years. The exhibition aims to criticize alienation, fascism, power, capitalism and gentrification in our society. At the same time, it will show the many different expressions and purposes of propaganda. And how you can use visual arts to focus on an important political issue, achieve a concrete goal and bring people from different backgrounds together around the same struggle.
”When you hear the word propaganda, you probably think of the manipulative media techniques that are used to promote war, alienation and political power struggles. But propaganda can also be an important tool when left-wing grassroots organizations want to put political battles on the agenda. It is a tool that can be used to promote unity, solidarity and harmony among people. As well as shedding light on dysfunctional systems, oppression and abuse of power. Thus, propaganda can be positive if it is used to help people and create positive changes in society” – Sesil Knage
Sesil will be at the bookfair from Friday to Saturday.
It will be possible to buy prints at the exhibition.
