What a crazy time to be alive. As visual communicators we are at the forefront of shaping and influencing behaviours and beliefs – yet the BIG issues playing out around the world can feel so overwhelming and complex that despite our best intentions we often don’t know where or how to begin… so we don’t.
‘Flagging the Issue’ is an invitation to gather and an opportunity be inspired by important voices we admire who are active in their activism, engaged in political discourse, demonstration, and dissent. In a time where flags are again being used as a tool of division, we wanted to bring together 4 experienced voices with real skin in the game – who all produce work that is powerful and thought-provoking.
Cat, Sarah, Craig and Greg have through their uncompromising work collectively addressed The Invasion of Iraq, The War in Ukraine, The Genocide in Gaza, Brexit, Global Warming, The Minors Strike, Windrush, Racism, Sexism, Nationalism, Putin, Murdoch, Trump, and much more.
Expect the usual warm welcome, the BD Shop, Food & Drink, Sponsor stalls, plus some strong views, and presumably some fairly strong language…
